Off and on for about an hour this morning before going to work I watched
a male Baltimore Oriole eating half an orange I had fixed to the railing
of the deck. It was definitely a male Baltimore Oriole but it's tail
feathers had about an inch of quite yellow, not orange, at the tips. It
was absolutely beautiful. Is this a known variant, or a common
variation and something I should have seen before? Marilyn Ray
