Sunday blessed me with a special gift.
High up near the top of a Douglas Fir tree I heard, then saw a female Bullock's Oriole. It then flew off and I thought that was as close as it would get.
Or not!
A few minutes later it returned to the backyard for some much lower and closer looks.
A striking bird - notice the tail as well as head and breast.
I could not ask for more.
Except its 2nd perch allowed me to see more of the bird.
Again lots of nice poses.
I like the tilted head.
Orioles make usual and distinctive sounds. Click on this link then listen to the California Calls from May 1988 to hear what I did.
It would not seem like summer if I did not see a Bullock's Oriole.
Thank you bird!
Great photos, great stitch!

Love your 13 Stars piece! What a gorgeous sighting of the Bullock's Oriole!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a Bullock's Oriole. Absolutely beautiful. She is the perfect model for the camera. I think she liked you watching her and taking pictures. I hope she'll come back and visit you again. What pretty bird so elegant.
