Birds Mrs. Oriole May 19, 2013 / 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!
Janet May 19, 2013 at 9:39 pm 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.
