First Oriole

I saw what I believe was an Oriole for the first time. It was investigating a bird house. It went in and came back out two days ago and never came back.
According to my bird book, it looked like an Orchard Oriole. Its breast was rusty shade of orange rather than a bright orange. The color did not extend to the underside of its tail feathers.

Oriole is the state bird of MD. Bluebird is the state bird of NY. I had tons of Orioles in NY, never saw a Bluebird. Tons of Bluebirds here in MD, have yet to see an Oriole.
Nice you got to see one.
