 My photos I have been able to capture of the Baltimore Orioles have not been in the most natural settings but I take what I can get.  This is a closeup I was able to get of a female which shows very well  the less vibrant color of them.  The females tend more to a dull yellow/orange color and with the same accent patterns on their wings but in a more brownish color.

 The Baltimore Orioles are back in our area as well as the Hummers.  They arrived at about the same time.  We have 4 pairs and they are going through the jelly like crazy.  I have a different looking feeder now but it still has the same 2 jars.  This is a male, they are more vivid orange than the females.

The Orioles are back.  I have seen 3 males but no females yet.  They always seem a bit slower to show up.  I caught this one curiously eyeing my butterfly LED lights.

The Baltimore Orioles have been back and visiting the Grape Jelly feeder quite a lot.  There are at least 4 males and 2 females.  Hard to tell exactly because I don't see them all at one time.  I captured this male on the pole for the Hummingbird feeder and I liked the bokeh behind him.

I decided on a splash of nice bright color for today.  This is a male Baltimore Oriole that was enjoying some jelly from the deck feeder one day this spring.

Well, looks like maybe we will be a couple of days without rain now and hopefully see the sun.  I captured this image this morning, just about 30 minutes ago.  The Baltimore Orioles are back in full force this year, we have at least 3 pairs that come to feed at the liquid feeder and the jelly.The Mulberries are ripening so I am wondering if they will keep coming but we shall see.  They did last year.  This is a beautiful male enjoying a jelly breakfast.

My shot for today was a luck one.  I was shooting the bird on the rock and captured the other by accident.  I believe the one sitting is an Orchard Oriole and the one taking off which was a surprise as it came from below is a female Oriole.  I was even more surprised it was in focus.  :-)  This took place in the Badlands of South Dakota.
