Oh my word. I was sitting at my computer and an oriole landed on my seed tube less than four feet away from my eyes. My breathing stopped (and maybe my heart) for a full 15 seconds as I took in the bird before it flew. It was dull all over in the shade, but I did process a line through the eye. It appeared to be an immature female. It did NOT have a bright orange malar, nor was it bright in any way.
If I see it again I'll try to take pics. Connie Kogler Breathing again and just in from putting jelly and suet bits out..
