With a camera. And actually it's an Altimira Oriole http://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/id/framlst/i5031id.html It's range is supposed to be Mexico and South Texas. But I shot this in South Florida! there was a pair of them, This Male and a female which I also got a shot of. I shot this with my digital and the auto focus apparently thought I was taking a picture of the fence.lol Can't they make a camera that reads minds?!? But they stayed long enough to get one of them on film too, with a Manual focus telephoto. I guess when you are bright orange you learn to hide very well. Even with AR coating I think birds are very good at spotting that lens when it's pointed at them.
