Caught At Last!


I was sitting quietly in my yard, absorbing the sounds around me when I heard a different call. I looked up to see this little beauty perched a top a nearby mesquite. Hooded Orioles are notoriously flighty in our area so I sat very still and slowly raised my camera. I managed to get one shot of and then 'poof' it was gone.

    Celeste, do you ever see them at your hummingbird feeders? They also like orange flavored suet! Plus, don't you put out fresh oranges? I think they also like ocotillo blossoms. I can't remember if you have any on your property. What a nice find, you stealthy lady, you!

    It is a little excessive isn't it Roberta? :)

    Kathie, they never come down as far as the feeders that I have seen. I only see them up past the pool. I do put out oranges but for whatever reason it doesn't lure them in but I live in hope :)
