A new and Rare Visitor

[rstrick2]

Today I re-filled the Oriole feeder with Jelly and Oranges. I also placed out a new suet Cake. I went into my shed blind and soon this Oriole came in to the jelly. I went to all my bird books and have concluded that it is a Bullock's Oriole. This bird is not known to be in Florida. It is a rare visitor. My book said that Vagrant come east.

What a beautiful bird (and beautiful images, too)!

I like #3 and #5 best, although #1 & 2 helps show the pattern on his wings.

This is another area of photography that I have taken a swipe at, and not succeeded. Great shots, really!

How far is your blind from the feeder(s)?
What camera?
What lens?
What settings?


Thanks!!!

Because my wife would never let me sit out in the back yard taking photos without her there. lol.

that last image is intense, reminds me of a screaming eagle, but obvious no where as close to being one.
