Looking out the window, I viewed what I think was an altamira oriole.
Finally, a visitor to my hummingbird feeder. Every species welcome.

That’s a beautiful bird (do you know what it is?), and a spectacular photo!

I think it is an altamira oriole. I looked it up in the bird book and it looked exactly like three photos of it. They were a more orangy color, as this one was, and the mask and wing patterns were the same.

Our Bullock’s orioles also visit the hummingbird feeders. Pretty birds!

Gorgeous guy or gal! What are they doing on a hummingbird feeder? Do they think it’s an odd-shaped potential mate?

Someone else has said the orioles also feed at their hummingbird feeders and I’ve read that it is the males that turn this brighter orange shade.

This morning, I woke up and both my feeders were empty. I don’t mean the usual “very low, need to refill.” I mean they were empty to the very final seed. I guess they finally found my new feeder. My son wants me to get a hummingbird feeder because they are such beautiful birds. I just don’t know where I’d put it. But that is one stunning bird!

It really is, but it hasn’t returned. I think I haven’t told the story of the day it appeared. I have to look and see..Ah, memory. As fleeting as the birds.
