The Flash

I call this fella The Flash.

A flash of brilliant orange that has been hanging around lately. His girlfriend too.

I'm always catching a glimpse of flaming color out of the corner of my eye.


I'm told that these birds often return to the same location year after year.

If so - I've taken his picture before.

Feeding these birds is a pretty simple process. Heat four cups of water in the microwave. Add one cup of sugar. Stir to dissolve. Cool. Serve in a feeder.

The Baltimore oriole is one of the last of the birds to arrive and the first to leave before the commencement of fall.

Yesterday I had a hummingbird on this feeder so I better hurry-up and get their feeder out before a rumble starts.
