I have many dreams, mostly ones one can hardly convey in spoken language. IÂ want nature and peace around me, yet IÂ do not want to relinquish digital photography. IÂ have a Nikon D200 with a very basic lens. I had a Canon 30D too, but what a disappointment. BIO I am 55, an IT consultant and tried my hand at diamond digging, computer programming, being a network & computer technician, web designer, amateur photographer, etc. I am a man of the bush and appreciate simple things. IÂ do photography assignments from time to time. I am privileged to live where IÂ do, (map), a rural area in South Africa where I can hear the lions roar just 12 miles (20km) from where I live. I love this site and the artists uploading their work and I don't think any other site offers this varied depth in artistic skills. Piet

Well hello, yellow stranger! :) What a beautiful capture of of such a stunning bird! Lovely bright colouring, and I love the way he's perched onto the branch... with its little beak slightly agape. A beautiful image!

Glad you got to see him if he is rare. He is so beautiful. I have been attracting the Gold finch to my yard this summer. So love the songs of birds.

Gosh, this is really a treasured find! I've never seen anything like it although I'm familiar with orioles. You did a great job here. Only skill and talent could bring this bird so well to us. Fabulous photo.

Nice colors and excellent shot on the bird! THe other looks like he has bad breath. I was a picture yesterday of 10 lyons in the shade of an airplanes wing. The pilot was wondering how he was going to get back on board. haha

this is a really nice shot. your bird seems to have a lot more black on it than the bird in linked pic, but there 5/6 subspecies of Blackheaded Oriole, so maybe your bird is from one of those.
