This blog entry came about because of a discussion between my brother-in-law, Patrick, and I about the Baltimore (Northern) Oriole population in North America. As it turns out, the oriole population is currently esimated as high as 12 million birds. This puts it well down the ranking list for population numbers. The population however is considered steady and not threatened. Baltimore Orioles only have one brood per year, unlike the top three birds above, which have two to three broods per year.
Please comment if you wish.
