The Baltimore Orioles are showing up in the back yard.

But this is the best he would give me.I spent hours chasing them from tree to tree always behind a bunch of leaves.

I have the same problem with orioles. They seem to be camera shy. Not a bad picture, though.

At least you have these colourful birds where you live, all we have are pigeons, sparrows & bulbuls
I love how you were able to capture it with it's food.. Nice one David

At least you got one! I cannot for the life of me get a shot of the ones around here. They are fast little buggers.

This is a nice shot.

See here's what I don't get, you got close enough to check his ID and find out he was from Baltimore, then backed up to take the picture? Just seems kind of weird really. Lol.

Seriously though.. fantastic capture. The color is just amazing, and actually I kind of like how he's surrounded by foliage - just makes it "pop" that much more I think.

LOL, Thanks Robbins.
