Description

Hi all! I was putzing around in the yard last week and I happened to spy this handsome Baltimore Oriole in a nearby tree. Lucky for me I still had an orange left in the fridge, and not too long after I nailed it to the tree, he came down for a snack. I'm just amazed at the brilliance of the orange on these birds- it really is as the photo shows! The only touchup was sharpening and framing. Thanks for having a peek and I hope you all have a great week! :o) ~A (PS. He looks better zoomed!)

really nice shot, what a stunning bird. this has to be another reason for eating more fruit, though nailing it to a tree afterwards is new to me.
