Bullock's Oriole



Back from work. Looks like we have some new guests on our property. Both a male and a female Bullock's Oriole have been spending time at our bird feeder. Since these birds nest in the summer, I'm hoping they have decided to move in for the season. Bullock Orioles are considered common, but their numbers have been declining in recent years. This is a colorful bird. Beautiful. They winter in the south part of Mexico and also some Central American countries. No visas required for these avian guests.

Very nice! Lucky for you, to have such a pretty bird grace your neighborhood. We feel that way about Cardinals:common birds, uncommonly gorgeous.
