Bullock's Orioles and Snow!

Flagstaff, AZ

This is the 2nd year I've had the orioles, bought the feeder as soon as I noticed these birds trying to eat out of the Hummingbird feeders. Last year I had 2 males and 2 females but I think there's only 1 couple so far this year. I am really excited about these birds and completely dismayed that we (in Flagstaff, AZ) got 6 inches of snow on May 13th!!!

Nice one!

I've heard of vagrant Baltimore Orioles wintering in Britain coping with snow, so I'd guess Bullock's, being closely related, should be able to manage it too.

That is amazing that you got snow. It probably meant to hit here and lost its mark. We can understand here. You wake up, look outside and think you are having a bad dream.
Great pictures.
