OK, cute, youse guys!

I mean, we have magpies, jays, doves, finches, hummies and the occasional red-tailed hawk. We have egrets, geese and ducks stopping by enroute north or south annually, with a small percentage staying around and hanging out in our ponding basins nearly year-round. Oh, and there's someone hereabouts who has a resident peacock I hear occasionally and another who has some kind of hybrid (?) chickens-without-clucks, both of which are "illegal," BTW, in the city.

But orioles? Nah! I can't even imagine seeing those here.

So I will console myself with tales (yes, pun intended) about such glorious varieties in your environs and accompanied by the stunning photographs you are sharing with us. Bless you for sending us both. Keep 'em coming!

Photo of another bird, quite common hereabouts [chuckling]. Look at those pregnant legs! Wonder where her honey is.
