For the first time this year, we had a beautiful pair of Baltimore Orioles in the yard. They have such a beautiful song. I discovered their nest, hanging high above our driveway, when all the leaves came off the trees.
Like many other birds, the female Baltimore Oriole is the primary nest builder. Making a hanging nest made from plant fibers and suspended from a branch 6 to 90 feet above ground. While it's quite common for them to return each year to the same territory it's rare that they will use the same nest itself. They often take parts of old nest to build a new one, so you may see them at the old nest site.
