The Baltimore Oriole (Icterus galbula) is native to North America. Its breeding range extends across the eastern and central parts of the United States and southern Canada, from the southern parts of Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia, down to central Florida and Texas. It winters in Central America and northern South America, especially in countries like Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela.

During the breeding season, the Baltimore Oriole typically inhabits open woodlands, edges of deciduous and mixed forests, riversides, orchards, and urban parks. These areas generally have a warm temperate climate with sufficient foliage for nesting. In their wintering grounds, they prefer open, tropical forests and secondary growth areas.

The Baltimore Oriole primarily feeds on insects, fruit, and nectar, which allows it to control pest populations and assist in seed dispersal and pollination. It nests in the high branches of trees, usually suspended in a woven structure to protect its eggs and chicks from predators. Variations in habitat may occur due to regional adaptations; for instance, those breeding in urban environments may utilize different food sources compared to those in more forested areas.
