Hooded Oriole. Another spring visitor. This one is particularly annoyed by the hummingbird feeder being off limits. I got quite the earful from him.
@cliffordbeshers Your photo made me realize I’d never really seen an Oriole beyond the baseball mascot. Thanks for breaking that trance and sending me on a beautiful internet search.
@gregmoore I've had that experience with a few birds here, but in real life. Usually I have a guess, or a list of possible types of bird. When I saw a Clark's Nutcracker for the first time, I had no idea what I was looking at. Fortunately, a professional birder lives nextdoor.
@cliffordbeshers We know a bird watching couple in our area who are willing to help us identify our photos. They’re invaluable to our curiosity.
