A friend told me they were in town, but I couldn't wait to see them with my own eyes. As I groggily sat at the table, this morning, a brightly orange-breasted beauty flew toward the patio door, making a perfect landing on our hummingbird feeder.Jubilation broke out as I excitedly grabbed my camera and snapped a few safe shots of this blessed event. Watching for this oriole's periodic visits throughout the day, I was rewarded by the presence of a drabber female vying for a sip of some nectar.
This aggressive male wouldn't let her near it! Apparently, he's a lousy suitor. He could take a few courting lessons from a cardinal who lovingly feeds his mate! --LKR
