Orioles,
masters of the vertical trapeze.
As if, all their life,
they’ve been waiting for a high sliding wire.
Flying Wallendas,
with no need for nets or costumes.
Natures perfect performers.
Cheers to you from the Holler’s high-flying orioles~
Absolutely gorgeous, Cindy! 🙂
They make photographers look good, sweet birdies!
Wow! Awesome pictures. They look so close to the bird!
Thank you, it’s the benefit of zoom!
Amazingly beautiful.
Very pleased you think so & cheers to you~
These are such great photos, Cindy. Ha, Flying Wallendas, indeed!
Actually they fly even better, no offense to the Wallendas~ 😉
🙂
Those orioles are comical, acrobatic and beautifully colored, Cindy. They do belong with a circus high wire act! I could easily be entertained and amused while watching them. 😀
They are hilarious when in a group, the argue like very rude people!
Cindy, I didn’t expect this characteristic of those cute birds acting like very rude people! Thanks for letting me in on this inside information. Really makes me wish I could observe them in reality. Take care, hope your summer goes well! ❤
Such beautiful birds, Cindy! The photos are outstanding.
Awww, makes me glad I posted them~ ❤
What camera do you use? I love your photos.
So thoughtful, I love your food, so we’re even! I use the Sony HX400. It is not a pricey camera.
Thank you! 😊. For not a pricey camera you get amazing shots.
❤
As always – – – beautiful selection of subject matter and great photographs. We once saw Baltimore Orioles in upstate New York but I think they departed when the taxes got too high. Take care, Wally
Smart birds! Taxes and acid rain probably did it~
Your own high-wire circus act!
And the tickets are free!
That’s quite some artist, Cindy…just like you 🙂 Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend 🙂 ❤
Visa versa 2UX2! ❤
Beautiful. They do remind me of trapeze artists! 🙂
Better then the circus anyday!
So true, they don’t need wires or costumes to put up a great show! Beautiful!
And admission is free!
Thank you for sharing this artful dance, Cindy~~
Thank you more for appreciating them!
I’ll have to try this sometime!!
Be sure and use a net! 😉
I always love these beauties!

Thanks, Cindy! Don’t we all.
Amazing!
I’m watching them now and they are amazing!
Lucky you! I got a great shot of a yellow crested night heron in Tampa but a bit behind with my blogs… 🙂
I love Night Herons eyes! I hope you post~
If I was a bird…..
would you be an oriole? 🙂
Beautiful . . you got some amazing close-ups of the oriole.
Thank you, their beauty makes them idea subjects.
Are those birds professional models? Beautiful shots.
They look like they are don’t they and thank you!
Beautiful shots, Cindy. Our first orioles showed up about 2 weeks ago. Been feeding them oranges, which they seem to be enjoying. 🙂
Yay, glad you have one. He will never leave you if you give him some grape jelly!
The variety of birds you have living with you is stunning Cindy
They are, but not quite the variety you have in Australia~
Beautiful!
Merci beaucoup!
Fun story to go with the beautiful photos. Thanks Cindy!
Thank you more for the thoughtful appreciation~
You are most welcome.
❤
Beautiful birds.
They are & thanks!
What good looking neighbors you have!
I do have the most handsome neighbors! 😉
So cute and gorgeous!
So happy you like them & cheers to you~
Wow what cool pictures! Love these
Very pleased you do Lyn & cheers to you~
Xx
so vivid Cindy–you continue to amaze us…
Awww, you are a joy to know, virtually ! ❤
So glad you have so many of these birds so close. Ours stay hidden high up in tall poplars. Still avoiding being hunted for cages I think!
They are smart aren’t they!
Stunning birds! I can’t recall ever seeing one up close.
They are leery of humans, probably because they are aware they stand out~
Can’t say that I blame them. These days I’m leery of some humans.
Amen to that unfortunately~
Reblogged this on Random Ramblings; Myriad Musings and commented:
The Orioles will be visiting Seattle soon to take on the Mariners…I’m looking forward to it, so here’s a little pictorial tribute!

So clever! Best of luck to the Seattle Orioles!
