Was für ein hübscher Vogel, wunderbare Aufnahmen.

A marvelous collection that speaks of a community that comes together in vibrant colours. Thank you, Cindy!
Yes! It is a community and their bickering proves it. Very perceptive of you Rebecca დ
Such a pretty bird!
The sparrows (making a small come back), pigeons, grackles and sea gulls from Toronto send their love to the Holler!
Sending love back to all of you visa versa X2! დ

Stunning, Cindy–their colors sure pop!
They are definitely lookers! Cheers to you Terri დ
It seems, that even if you’ll make every single day the pictures of one new bird, it is not enough human life to photograph all of them you have at your place. 🙂
Very true! The Holler is for the birds and I like it!! 😉 დ
What a bright looking feathered guy!
Stay safe, dear Cindy!

These remind me lots of South Masked Weavers – beautiful yellow birds!
They are weavers! They use palm threads to hang intricate woven hanging basket nests დ
Wonderful!! Amazing photos!!

So beautiful. You are so lucky to see such a variety of animals in your area, Cindy.
Thank you Carla. I love living amongst them, well…. except for the rattlesnakes! 😉 😉
You certainly capture these stunning birds. I think these were the ones I couldn’t get the camera to focus on. And they did not fly away so even more frustrating. So hooded orioles range from the holler to the yucatan. Or migrate? Our golden orioles migrate but are so high up in the tall poplars/ alamos I just listen.
They migrate. At The Holler they stay further south in the winter when the conditions are optimal, and come here to nest in the spring when the conditions are also optimal. They have to live in a place with palm trees since they weave their nests with palm strings. If you want them to come closer, put grape jelly in cut palm fronds on the tree trunk and cut oranges and put in oriole feeders. At first they will be scared of you, but after one season, they basically say, “We expect this of you, and more!” 😉 Enjoy! დ
That is wonderful information. Thank you so much.
Thank you more Georgina & be well დ
