Mrs. Oriole

She’s more quietly colored than her husband, and a quieter feeder as well. But she was a welcome burst of color on an overcast day.

*Edited to add: Thanks to Peggy for pointing out in the comments that this is in fact a first-year male!

      Thanks for the correction! Interesting… I didn’t realize the young males were mottled that way, and less brightly colored. Your comment inspired me to check out some of the photos over at All About Birds.
