Flying,
sunbursts,
in the garden.
This handsome boy,
is a Hooded Oriole,
and this is a male Bullocks Oriole.
The males are clearly striking.
But the females,
have their own more subtle beauty.
Male Hooded and Bullocks sharing the jelly!
Cheers to you from The Holler flying sunbursts~

Grazie mille Beth დ
They are beautiful.
They are დ
The yellows in these birds is incredible, Cindy. We had orioles in Sacramento, but none that I’ve seen in Spokane. But we get goldfinches and they are spectacular too!
I love goldfinches. They haven’t shown up here yet. I am waiting for them დ
They are so gorgeous! Little flying beauties. Such stellar photos, Cindy.
Smiling…. Thank you sincerely Lynette & cheers to you დ
I grow Sunflowers on the corner of my garden for the ‘Gold Finches’
How wonderful! I haven’t seen the goldfinches this year. I am waiting for them დ
It only remains to say that your magnificent photos highlight the beauty of the birds. An enjoyment to behold.
I am honored and humbled. You make me happy I posted. Thank you very much დ
We have to fill life with colors (your birds) to enjoy it and we have to fill love with passion so that it lasts (my poems)
Such a bright and cheery post!
Hi Brenda! So wonderful to hear from you. I was just over at your blog. Happy you enjoyed & hope all is well with you my friend დ
My son is just stealing a chocolate cookie from our smiling frog cookie jar. I can’t help but smile at him, and at your birds. Your blog always makes me happy.
Your wonderful comment makes me smile. Tell your son to kiss the frog for me!
I must admit I like the subtle beauty of the females more than the bright colour of the males.
Wonderful images as usual, Cindy.
I love that you do! They have less flash, but I think they are very beautiful too დ
You are so lucky to have orioles nearby, Cindy. What a treasure for your photography pursuits. I have seen them here on Vancouver Island two different years, but only one pair and only for a couple of days before they moved on.
Yes, I love them and all the birds here at The Holler. But, you live on one of most very favorite places on earth. Your island is ethereal. It’s time for me to visit again! დ
It has its good points, but the birds at The Holler – they’re special.
Thank you very much Anneli & be well.
I’ve never seen orioles here in Victoria, so you’re fortunate! I did see some goldfinches a week or two ago, but they didn’t linger.
Audry, maybe our goldfinches flew north! 😉 I haven’t seen them yet and I am waiting for them დ
It’s a case of “if you blink you’ll miss it.”

Merci beacoup mon Ami David! დ

Amazing pictures Cindy! Beautiful birds. Maggie
Thanks much Maggie. Most appreciated & cheers! დ
Our Black-headed Orioles make a show in our garden throughout the year. I am always pleased to see yours!
Are yours as chatty as ours? Do they bob their heads at each other and argue like politicians? I can’t imagine having them year round. They are such joyful uproar დ
Wow. Beautiful birds. Awesome photos, Cindy.
Thank you Michael დ
You’re most welcome, Cindy.
დდ
Golden…for sure. Gand pics.
Smiling… Very pleased. Thanks much დ
Wow! Stellar photos indeed!
So appreciated. Thank you & cheers დ
A. Handsome and stunning bird Cindy

Beautiful photos of gorgeous plumed birds Cindy
Merci beaucoup mon Ami Sheree (I love writing this!) დ
You’re very welcome Cindy
დდ
have their own more subtle beauty.
Think I share that same regard for females myself. Beautiful.
Smiling…. Cheers to you Neil დ
This morning outside my dining room window I watched a “yellow hammer” bird hop around. It was wonderful, but very subdued yellow. And then you post these Orioles – WOW! I love my little bird, but… WOW!
I am very pleased you enjoyed them Bruce. Thanks much. They are beauties aren’t they დ
Fantastic portraits! And yes, I’m going for the subtler females, I think.
Smiling…. Good for you & thanks very much Margaret დ
😊
That birdie brings a lot of sunshine with him🌞💛Double Pawkisses for a Happy Week ahead, Cindy🐾😽💞
Visa versa 2UX2 my friend & cheers! დ
Una belleza y gran serie de fotos!! Ahora el blog Español, Cinndy?
Sería una gran práctica escribir un blog en Español, pero mi cerebro se cansaría y necesitaría una siesta! დ
So beautiful!
Smiling. Thank you! ღ
The female birds are usually the least striking but in this case the female is beautiful although the male is such sunny yellow…Lovely shots, Cindy 🙂 xoxo
Very true. Thanks much Carol & cheers my friend ღ
Wauw amaizing!

Wow, those Orioles are bright! And beautiful. We are too far south for Orioles, but we have lots of goldfinches which are almost as yellow.
I love goldfinches. Ours are not here yet. I am awaiting their arrival ღ
They are beautiful!
Happy Earth Day my friend 🌎

What a wonderful post to celebrate Earth Day, Cindy! Every day is earth day at your place!!!
Yes it is! Happy Earth Day Rebecca 🌎
Very good orioles. I’m still frustrated that mine don’t care about the feeder, the oranges, the jelly. The ants do though. 😉
Be good Cindy.
That is frustrating. Did you know there are 2.5 million ants estimated for each person in the world? They are everywhere! დ
And how many of the 2.5 million are carpenter ants?
I don’t know….
