Works for me. You can probably tell I'm no bird expert.
I can tell a Red Tail Hawk from a Robin; identify a male Cardinal, a
Great Blue Heron, an adult Bald Eagle and I know what a woodpecker is
(mainly because they sound like woodpeckers).

Walt has it just about right. Almost certainly a Rose-breasted Grosbeak. (Not
Red-breasted.) We have two pair in our neighborhood, attractive birds apart
from their gross beaks.

Stan's Oriole prompted me to put this one up on Flickr.
As I've been going through & scanning old film, I found what must
have been the first roll of Kodak Ektar 25 that I tried. One of the
frames has what I think might be some kind of an Oriole.
All I know for sure is it's not a Cardinal and I'm pretty sure it's
not a Robin.

My best guess is this is around about Feb 20, 1989 or so. If memory
serves Ektar 25 was introduced in January & according to weather
records, we had 4 inches of snow in Raleigh on Feb 19.
I noticed the birds were hanging around a fallen limb at the rear
edge of my property, about 50 feet from my house. I hung up my army
poncho up under my back porch to make a blind, set up my tripod and
poked the lens out through the opening for the head.
It was probably taken with an LX & a Soligor F/8 Cat lens w/
Pentax-K T-mount. It's not real sharp.
Anyway, it's the only one of the kind I remember seeing.
