Another new bird at the feeder


This pair have been visiting for about 2 weeks. They've been very allusive and won't stay long enough to a snap shot of them. I got these this week. Then I've been having issues trying to load them into PhotoBucket. I think HughesNet is stopping large files so I've had to shrink them and load one at a time. Sorry about the whine here's the cheese.
Back light sucks at my feeder :rolleyes:








It's a Baltimore Oriole
And this is the more common one here. The Baltimore Has a nice song too.

Nice photo's! I think the last one, the more common as you say, is a Hooded Oriole.

They were very common in the mouth of the San Nicolas' arroyo. They make neat hanging nests from date palm fibers.

edit to add image of the nests that cost me a trip to secondary!

Hi Russ.


you have a Scott's Oriole

and a Hooded Oriole

and yes, the Hooded Oriole weaves a wonderful nest sometimes used by other birds for their brood.

Thanks for the photos Russ.
