Orioles, Thrashers and Bleeding Hearts

Remember in one of my previous posts, I had a picture of a mockingbird in a tree in the distance? Well, what I thought was a mockingbird is indeed a brown thrasher! Here he is on our front lawn, foraging for a meal!




It seems that the oriole too is very hungry ...here he is trying to sip a meal from the hummingbird feeder and he is NOT pleased when the hummingbird shows up!




The bleeding hearts are out in full bloom so a chance to try the close-up feature on the camera!

very beautiful oriole picture, I wish we got them up here. Apparently there are cardinals, and I have heard them, but yet to see one. Don't they make oriole feeders? You should indulge that guy with one.

Yes they make oriole feeders. My neighbor has one but the oriole goes to the hummingbird feeder instead. Must be 'my' oriole!!!!!

Great pictures as usual. We don't have orioles either, I don't think-better check my list before saying for sure.
I don't recognize many of the sounds I hear in the trees.

apparently we get an occasional Bullock's Oriole out here-haven't seen one, but saw a mourning dove the other day-quite rare apparently.
