Orioles are one of the most brightly coloured birds in North America.

They migrate south for the winter, returning when the snow melts, and bird lovers wait anxiously for the first sight of them.

They are so spectacularly coloured that social media pages and birder groups become filled with images and announcements as these beautiful birds make their way north.

Bird lovers will have their feeders ready, able to predict the actual day that their beloved little friends will arrive.
