    Adorable! The whole time I lived in Baltimore I never saw a real live Oriole. Only the references to the baseball team lol3.gif

    I love the foot on top of the fruit, as if he's saying "MINE."

    I've seen the "real" ones (grew up in the Baltimore area, they are scarce but I see them at my parents' house still), but never one like this---this must be a female? Great shot!
    Please ignore my opinions! And if I ask for constructive criticism, please give it to me. I have really thick skin! :huh

    Nice image Randall. I saw one once in East Granby Connecticut (only one I've seen).

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    One like that is often around my buddies garden feeder as well.

    It's a striking bird, so yellow and bold looking.
