If you are black and living in Baltimore you might not be able to afford your water. A new bill in Baltimore, Maryland (US) aims to settle water injustice, making sure that a water bill will be adjusted to a family’s means. Baltimore is a good case study. In November 2019, the Baltimore City Council voted unanimously in favor of the bill, and Mayor Jack Young signed the bill making it an official law. .

Suddenly, we catch a flash of bright orange: a Baltimore Oriole. Baltimore Orioles spend their winters in Florida, Central, and South America, and migrate north to breed in much of the Eastern United States. It’s true that many know the bird because of Baltimore’s baseball team, but the species’ history with Maryland goes back much further. Baltimore Orioles breed in open woodlands or forest edges , preferring deciduous trees.

A new study from the National Institute on Aging and the National Institutes of Health in Baltimore, Maryland, has found that, contrary to what many people think, diet sodas are not conducive to weight loss. The study analyzed data from 1,454 participants in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging, collected between 1984 and 2012. Researchers want people to stop obsessing over calorie counts and start considering the effects certain foods have on our bodies. Forget diet soda.

Baltimore Oriole. If you ask me, no bird looks more at home with an orange than a male Baltimore. That’s right…I used the punchline from one of the worst jokes in history for this one, but it seems strangely apt. One thing I’ve learned birding south Texas this spring is that birds are extremely fond of oranges, including birds you just wouldn’t expect to be into citrus (like the Swainson’s Thrush above).
