Oh my!! Excellent shots! Very colorful little bird, one I've never seen in person.

Aw, she's so pretty! It is looking for some grape jelly, Roger.

They are not friendly with people.

I am thinking you are right.

Great shoots Roger. Nice action shot on #3, it's nice to see wildlife that's not from around we are. Thanks Mr. Hogan.

I am glad you enjoyed it.

Orioles are very popular here in mid-Michigan and arrive usually after May 15th. Hey, right on time! They have a beautiful song, too.

Thanks for playing.

My engineer friend has his house by the railroad tracks, and has at least 3 Orioles coming to his Oriole feeders and he says that they are eating the grape jelly like "out of house & home" from him. He uses that and oranges. They are a beautiful bird and thanks again Roger for posting those lovely photos!

We are on the same page about them being beautiful.
