Colourchallenge Tuesday Orange - Oriole
Another Oriole at the jelly! I have a small amount of Grape Jelly in a glass bowl, hanging. Seems the Orioles LOVE it.
Although, he's not a fan of the paparazzi! The guy was perfect for The Color Challenge - Tuesday Orange - Photo Challenge started by @kalemandra. #colorchallenge #photocontests

You must be from the east, we get Bullock's Orioles in the west. Your Baltimore Oriole, and our Bullock's Oriole were considered two species, then lumped together as Northern Oriole, but again now are considered two separate species. We listers obviously prefer them as separate species.
Bullock's Oriole, note the lack of the black hood and the wider white wing bar. To me they just look plenty different to be separate species despite the hybrid overlap zone.
About as east as they get.
Cape Cod, in Massachusetts.
I figured. Good place to bird. I grew up in New England and am going to Mt. Washington in the AM tomorrow to try for Bicknell's Thrush, a lifer for me if I get it.
I'm always amazed at how you get these awesome shots. It's such a beautiful bird too.
I'm amazed at how you can get such amazing emotion from written words!
Nice shot! I used to also put out oranges for them. They are so beautiful.
I have too!
An orange half.
Do those birds specifically eat oranges? Can I give pigeons oranges?
Orioles eat Oranges. Pigeons don't
Picky pigeons. Damn them.
The Orioles AND the Cat birds! I go through a large jar of jelly every week! Great shot!
Thanks!
I know what you mean about the jelly.
Do you ever cut orange halves for them?
I do, but they don't pay much attention to the oranges! It's all about the jelly.
What a pretty little thing! Love those colors, and the fact that they like grape jelly!
Me? Pretty little thing?
Why... thank you!
