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~

Mother Nature rocks her birdies! დ
Fabulous pictures! Love the golden colour of these birds!
Aren’t they gorgeous creatures. Thanks very much & Happy Earth Day! 🌎
The yellow on the males is so vibrant, and the black makes it “pop” even more. Great shots, Cindy.
They are natural born fashionistas! Thanks much Bruce დ

I love your ‘flying sunbursts!’ What a great description of them. We get the Baltimore orioles here in Ontario and they’re really gorgeous, too! Can’t wait til they arrive, any day now we start buying bags of oranges and berry jelly for them. Cheers, Susan
You are a kindred spirit Susan! Happy Earth Day დ

How handsome they are… great captures, Cindy!
Happy you like them Eliza & thanks much my friend დ
Beautiful!
Thanks much & cheers! დ
The colors are striking Cindy, that yellow on black truly is a delight. Thank you for the share. Side issue, the last pic wouldn’t blow up, kept telling me wrong parameters. Does that mean I don’t measure up? 🤣❤️🙏
Laughing….. You measure perfectly. WP does not. I wish WP wouldn’t lower the resolution. They ruin the photos. They look so much better at full resolution დ
Lovely birds! Nice capture!
Thank you very much Warren დ
Breathtakingly beautiful. And those subtle differences between the boys. Am not sure I have ever seen a female oriole photo and indeed discreet beauty.
You make me happy I posted! So pleased you enjoyed them & cheers to you my friend დ
Even on the pictures they are not yellow, they are gold. Beautiful!
Thank you Alexander & be well my friend დ

Stunning colour in an excellent capture
Grazie mille! დ
Such beautiful birds with gorgeous coloring. The female is beautiful too in a subtle way. 💛
So happy you like them Eugi & thanks much დ
I think yellow is my favourite colour in a bird. Awesome photos. We have some yellow birds here but few, tanagers I think. I remember some beautiful yellow ones in Hawaii when we were there on vacation five years ago. Thanks for sharing your photos.
Tanagers are rare and wonderful to me. Would love to see yours 🕊️
When my sunflowers are busy with birds in 4 months – I will try to get a photo of one for you! ♥
How wonderful! I look forward to this.
Marvellous! Apparently, we have them in Southeren Ontario, but I have never seen one in real life.

Birdies do get around! Hope you see one soon Carment & cheers my friend 🕊️
So great to see these beautiful birds and cherish them in a photograph! Come on by – we have a pomegranate dish you might like! 🙂
Smiling…. Oooooh, I would love that! 🕊️
What a beautiful bright gold colour, really beautiful.
Thanks so much Charlotte. Happy you enjoyed. Loved seeing you in Resa’s gown. So beautiful! 🕊️
