We've had orioles nesting in our yard every summer, but mostly we've been surprised by how visually cryptic such a brightly colored and loud, talkative bird could be. It's sometimes surprisingly hard to get a good bead on them in out binoculars.
But this summer we have a very friendly and beautiful pair visiting the feeders at the window, seemingly enjoying not just the fruit pieces we've put out for them, but the full fare, from fruit to peanuts to suet to sunflower to hummingbird feed. What a pleasure.
