The photo above, by Michael Schulte was the Plants for Birds winner in the 2019 Audubon Photography Awards in San Diego, California, US. Orioles build hanging nests, weaving plant fibres for lightweight but durable structures. The Hooded Oriole (Icterus cucullatus) finds long strong palm fibres to be excellent building material. It often attaches its nest under a California fan palm leaf.
