One typical section about the northern oriole describes it as a bird that arrives in late April, has a pouch style nest, and has eggs the size of nickels. The book describes the colors of male and female orioles, their songs, and their preference for tall maples and elms. Readers are told that orioles eat insects and spiders but not seeds. The illustrations show the colors and markings on the birds and eggs as well as the construction of the nests. Three bird related activities are found in the book.
