This male and a female have been coming to my hummingbird feeder for a few years now. They surprised us by pulling out the small plastic flowers on the feeder that have the small opening for the hummers, so that they could get to the larger holes underneath. Who says birds aren't smart?

Very nice shot Richard! Beautiful colors and the yellow flowers in the BG add nicely to the image.

A very natural appearing image — the Oriole is gorgeous and so is the background. Well done, Richard.

Nice pose and detail. I'd consider toning down the flowers in the BG to accentuate the bird a bit more.

You must click on this one to get the full impact of the golden explosion! What a gorgeous image Richard, and he pops beautifully from the background blossom. Stunning!
