I like your oriole photograph. I guess I should be on the lookout as they stopped off here this spring and ate me out of oranges. A lot of birds have already left and I suppose those have too.
My Sky Watch Friday blog is at my Canon Pixels blog. If you have time I would appreciate your having a look at the sky peeking through the oak tree leaves.
Incredible blue.
How blue can a sky be? Yours is certainly pretty much at the top of the blue-foodchain! Great capture!
Cheers, Klaus
So cute bird and so beautiful picture- Great shot!
Yes, the sky is ooh so blue and so beautiful. Nice bird.
That’s one beautiful bird! Thanks.
Excellent shot – great colors on the bird AND the sky!
I’ve never seen an Orchard Oriole. We get Bullock’s Orioles in the summer, and they look nothing like this. Very nice photo.
Interesting bird. Love the picture
Great captured of yellow oriole at deep blue sky.
I have Black-naped Oriole, very common at by backyard here.
Lovely bue skies complements the Orchard Oriole to make it a perfect Sky Watch shot. I wasn’t so lucky in framming the bird so well though!
beautiful blue sky with an equally beautiful Oriole. Happy sky Watch!
What a catch against the blue blue sky, and right on top of the tree. Just beautiful.
A great capture, I had never seen one before. Of course I like the Baltimore Orioles (baseball team), I see them often but they are not as good as this.
Fabulous shot!!! There seemed to be a lot more Orchards around this year. We had a immature one on the Shawangunk Grasslands this Spring. First juvie I had seen in a long time.
What a flawless blue sky!
what a beautiful shot! Love your oriole and that fabulous sky. 🙂
Lovely photo of the Orchard Oriole against a fabulous blue sky!!
Gorgeous blue sky and a beautiful Orchard Oriole! I have never seen one before and probably would have missed it since it blends in so well with the leaves. I like the picture of the Pee-Wee also.
A very beautiful photograph.
