I love all your Bird pictures Sherry but the Oriole is a gorgeous bird.Do they drink from the humming bird feeder?

Glendann...the Orioles usually don't try the hummingbird feeder...it is smaller and not as much room to sit on as the Oriole feeder...

But the Hummingbirds always use the Oriole feeder.

They are so pretty. You take such good care of the birds, Sherry. If I were a bird, I would want to live at your house! Thanks for sharing.

I adore the Oriole. It looks so different from everything we've got. Your other birds are really well-behaved, posing for you like they do. You are probably spoiling them. Keep it up, do! Very Happy

Your Baltimore Oriole is a really strikingly handsome bird Sherry and I also love the markings on the white Crowned Sparrow. I'm so glad you enjoy taking photographs of your garden visitors as we all thoroughly enjoy seeing them. Keep them coming!! Mr. Green

All the birds are so lovely...but that Oriole is quite remarkable. What a beauty.

Sherry, I do love all of your bird pictures. Thank you so much for sharing their beauty with us. I don't attract birds because I have lots of cats, very devious cats when it comes to hunting. So I don't do it.
