However, the birds devoured that orange before there was time for any other creatures to get to it!<BR/><BR/>Bookbabie, it is pretty, isn't it? Glad you liked it.<BR/><BR/>Mary, I can just see them dashing out the door and you trying to maintain your balance! Hah! Well, stay on your feet and keep taking those lovely photos for all of us! Don't let those dogs get you down!<BR/><BR/>Aunt B, it's true. I not only get to share the places I love, but I get to see everyone else's world also. Much better than TV I must say!<BR/><BR/>Sandpiper, It is a stunning bird and I can't believe I didn't realize I was seeing a lifer until I eBirded it. I suppose that is due to the fact that we have so many varieties of orioles out here that I thought I saw one last year at the Sonoran Desert Musuem, but that one was a Hooded Oriole. I've also seen Bullock's oriole when I lived in Utah as well as a Baltimore oriole when I lived on the east coast! And, there are still more to see!<BR/><BR/>Mary, perhaps you will get that wish this year. If you are still in AZ, try Boyce Thompson Arboretum or the Sonoran Desert Museam. Both are excellent locations for them.<BR/><BR/>Patrice, delight, shock, surprise, serendipity: all. Yep. It was great!<BR/><BR/>Thank you Troy.<BR/><BR/>Larry, thank you also. Thank Gus he finally got the shot! (So easy to say when I'm not the one holding the camera! Hah!)Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337291898556479782.post-82664860268380870512008-03-19T17:52:00.000-07:002008-03-19T17:52:00.000-07:00Wow!

Oh, well.<BR/><BR/>What a great photo! Your oranges are so nicely displayed for the fruit lovers. <BR/><BR/>I've been very agitated with my photo attempts - not at my husband who never touches a camera - but with my dogs who rush past me through the doorway and flush the birds right out of sight!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040099513110890878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337291898556479782.post-805763414868657702008-03-17T18:48:00.000-07:002008-03-17T18:48:00.000-07:00Oh wonderful pictures, what a pretty little bird:)...Oh wonderful pictures, what a pretty little bird:)bookbabiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06544448397314393394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337291898556479782.post-81012355193747727072008-03-17T17:42:00.000-07:002008-03-17T17:42:00.000-07:00Great Photos we get a few orioles during the summe...Great Photos we get a few orioles during the summer and the color is truly stunning , we do put out Orange halves but need to be changed quite often or they become infested with ants<BR/><BR/>What a great treat to liven up an otherwise dull day<BR/><BR/>stevethepowerguideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09043772925488690607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337291898556479782.post-29797359872694844372008-03-17T17:23:00.000-07:002008-03-17T17:23:00.000-07:00Beth, they only look that way until the sun shines...Beth, they only look that way until the sun shines through!
