Description
On a late spring morning in Michigan, a baby Baltimore Oriole fell out of the nest a bit too soon. His parents had their nest very high in a tree, and it was full of hungry babies.
It was no surprise that this little fellow fell out. He clung to a low shrub and cried often so his parents knew where he was. They both came over and check on him regularly. He held tight, napped, and allowed me to get very close.
I wanted to touch him, save him, feed him... but I let his parents and Mother Nature care for him and hoped for the best. These brilliant, orange Orioles come in spring and eat our oranges and grape jelly like crazy. Then after their young are born, they move on.
I already miss their sweet song as spring becomes summer. I hope this little friend made it and comes back for a visit next year. I'll be waiting.
