He's back!

By Veronique de Turenne | April 3, 2014 10:40 AM

The Bullock's oriole hooded (thank you, Carla) oriole, who loves the hummingbird feeder up at the barn, has returned:

hello again, bullocks oriole


He's a shy guy -- make the slightest move and he's gone.

It's like he can feel the camera--

...even when you're shooting from 30 feet away.

See what I mean?
