Internet was out most of today so I took a few photos and edited this afternoon after our storms.

Nice pose with a clean background. Face is partly shaded. Appears to be an immature male.

"Appears to be an immature male."

Are you talking about the bird or the photographer?

Daniel, I believe you are correct. A juvenile oriole.

Tim, at my age I can only dream about being immature now. And maybe wish I was 40 years younger.

Tim - Some of us are what you might call "Post-Mature" . . .

Actually immaturity has nothing to do with age - just ask my wife to define it and she will point right at me!

Incredible shot, Larry. I love the background, and the sharpness is absolutely stunning! Very nice work.

Great shot Larry, looks soft and sweet to me in every respect!
