Spent some time Saturday and this morning at the Ira Beaver Marsh in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.  Came across a few active nests.  The nest shots are not the greatest quality but they are interesting anyhow.  I did include my favorite shot of the female Orchard Oriole yesterday, she was an easier shot.

Not a nest but there was a pair of Orchard Orioles just north past the Flicker nest - did not get a photo of the male but got this one of the female
