As a general observation, the Orioles tend to spend most of their time in the upper parts of the trees, especially when feeding, so I was fortunate when this one came down lower for a second or two, called, and then went back up.
The black and orange colour combination, is quite striking, with orange being a rare colour for any of the breeding birds here in North America. Always special to see the male Baltimore Oriole.

Thanks to everyone for viewing.

It is always nice to find an Oriole especially low in a tree or a shrub. Lovely singing pose, great shot.

Gorgeous ... I like how his pose compliments the tree's angle.

Great-looking Oriole, great singing pose and eye contact, Paul. I also like the background colors.
