Female Baltimore Oriole

[PixelRabbit]

The Oriole's have arrived home
This young lady seems to have a routine of coming to the windows and checking herself (or the competition she sees in her reflection) out every morning. She looks in the glass and does a crazy little dance.

I have only seen the male in passing but hoping to have a platform feeder up for them to enjoy some oranges today.
C&C always welcome and appreciated.

1.



2. this one is a wee bit dark, she kept tucking in against the windows in the shadows.

Nice captures, but the second one seems under exposed.

Judi, two very nice compositions. If only that one large blade of grass wasn't there, but such is the life one has to put up with when photographing out in Nature. I have to agree with Bo4key about the 2nd picture being somewhat under exposed when you compare it to picture #1.

Thanks Bo4key and Joel
Yeah I should have just left the 2nd one out

First one is very cool

Thanks bs0604.

I agree with everyone else. First one is good. Second is Under Exposed and you can really tell cause its right next to the first one.
