Baltimore Oriole

****

Nice shot Scott. Good background and nice colors. I like the eye contact. One of my favorite birds for its brilliant contrasty colors, and feisty clatter call.

Thanks, Kevin. Yeah, I hadn't seen an oriole in years and had forgotten how incredibly brilliant their colors are.

Well done. Nice balanced composition, good color saturation.

 

Beauitful Colors and eye contact... I have to laugh because I was sitting here a beautiful bird landing on my railings while I was looking at this. Wasn't sure what it was until I saw this. I'm hopeful he comes back. Well Done Gail

Just noticed this one now. Wonderful colors! That looks like a hummingbird feeder though?

Orioles definitely love the sugar water.  The house finches are even worse.  I finally had to take the perches off to keep all the birds but the hummers away.  Otherwise, I feel that the big birds keep the hummingbirds away or might even kill them.
