One of the most brilliantly colored songbirds in the east, flaming orange and black, sharing the heraldic colors of the coat of arms of 17th-century Lord Baltimore.  https://www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird/baltimore-oriole

The Orchid Ave. home owner says that she lures Baltimore orioles to her yard with grape jam and sugar water. She took the top off of hummingbird feeders and painted the clear bottoms orange. She then fills them with the sugar water in the main reservoir and puts grape jam in the smaller area.
