Looks like a female Baltimore Oriol to me.

Ah thanks.

Please tell me how you get them to pose for you? We followed one for 45 minutes today and I barely got a shot!

Really nice pictures.

I watch for where they usually land and just wait still patiently in that general area. Sometimes it works and sometimes it don't.Thanks Barb.

Nicely done! Looks like she's gathering nesting material.

Barb - All birds are jerks. The only solution is patience, something I'm a little short of, unfortunately.

I wonder how these birds manage to balance on such vertical planes, great shots David.

lol.. tell me about it! I spent the entire morning chasing after a set of wild parakeets. I literally crawled on my knees through dense foliage (dog poop everywhere) to avoid being seen, and after moving very slowly for about 20 minutes just when I'm about to take a shot at them guess what happens!

Maybe they have stickies on there feet. I always wondered how they don't slide down.
