Journey North Oriole Migration

July

Range of Baltimore and Bullock's Orioles

As Baltimore oriole babies become independent, parents begin molting their body and flight feathers, and some are already starting to migrate at the beginning of the month!

Bullock's orioles are still busy with babies in parts of their range, and also starting to molt their body feathers. Ornithologists are still collecting data about the molt of their flight feathers. They leave the drier areas of Washington and California by the end of the month.
