Baltimore Oriole ( Female )
Day 192 / 365
When should you buy a bird?
When it’s going cheep!
Interesting Fact: Baltimore Orioles sometimes use their slender beaks to feed in an unusual way, called “gaping”: they stab the closed bill into soft fruits, then open their mouths to cut a juicy swath from which they drink with their brushy-tipped tongues.

I look forward to your posts. There is always humor, an excellently photographed object, and an informative paragraph. By the way, I don’t believe O have ever seen a female Baltimore Oriole.
I am glad to bring that photo to you. Thank you very much for stopping by and enjoying my work. 🙂

Here in New Jersey all my life, I’ve never seen a Baltimore oriole. A female goldfinch stopped by today, though. They’re pretty rare around here.
Come to think of it, I’ve never seen a bluebird, either. Our local avifauna is deficient.
All those birds are out there, it’s just hard to come across them sometimes. I haven’t seen a bluebird around here, still waiting on that one. 🙂
always learned something new from your posts. looking forward for more.
Thank you, it makes me very happy that you are benefiting from my work. 🙂
