Thanks to its striking black and fiery orange colouring, the Baltimore Oriole (Icterus galbula) is often spotted high in the trees during Canada's summer months, from Alberta eastward through the southern portions of Eastern Canada. In celebration of both Canada's natural beauty and its colourful songbird species, the Baltimore Oriole is forever immortalised in this fine silver coin.
