Hi Mary,

You can get a since of when Baltimore Orioles (and other species) are
migrating by checking out the data others have submitted into eBird.  Here
are the steps I took to do just that:

1. Go to http://ebird.org/

2. Click the "View and Explore Data" tab.

3. Click "Bar Charts"

4. Scroll to, then click "Ohio" then click the "Entire Region" button on the
right. Click "Continue" at the bottom of the page.

5. Data for all Ohio species comes up here, but just scroll down to
"Baltimore Oriole (Icterus galbula)" and have a look!

It appears the first records (in eBird) start coming in during the 2nd week
of April.  Since not everyone reports observations to eBird, the very first
arrivals might come in a little earlier, so I'd start looking for early
Baltimore Orioles during the week or two before then.

6. For more details, you can click on the name "Baltimore Oriole (Icterus
galbula)" which brings up a map with the same barchart across the top.
Clicking on a month name in the barchart reduces the points on the map to
only data from that month.  You can then explore the other tabs, other
species, or click on the mapped points to see the details of who saw what
where and when. :)

Good birding,
Paul Hurtado
