A Bullock's 'r a Baltimore??

thanks :) 've gotten a few more since i posted this. not so much deep shade so hopin' they turn out anyhow. took me o'er 30 years to get the bullock's orioles to nest here. 1 year 'f feral cats 'n the neighbors honeybees to send 'em off. prior, they jest came'n the autumn to partake'n the grape festival. alas, no grapes this year, but did hang 'em out some sugar water'n jelly. still aint sure which this'd be? definitely not a male bullock's 'n the females usually've more white 's their belly feathers get close to their legs. one'f many mysteries i need to resolve, lol.

@crazyhorseladycx Wow that is a long time to wait for these beauties. I have no idea about these birds.

@CarolDM yes ma'am, 'lways feel most blessed though when they 'rrive. still thinkin' this 'ts a baltimore...'r perhaps e'en an orchard oriole?

'twas 'ctually watchin' a feral kitten'n the other side 'f the pond, lol. we've 'd a few cats fall'n the pond the past couple'f weeks whilst tryin' to catch 'em a bird. thanks :) 1 out'ta 72 aint bad, eh? ;)

@crazyhorseladycx He need to keep an eye on the cat Not bad at all

@crazyhorseladycx I might get to it sometime. Just never really look at them. I am happy to just listen to them.

@wolfgirl569 hmm, ne'er wonder who's makin' those songs? don't mind me, i'm jest a tad weird. find nature most fascinatin'.

thanks :) perhaps ya could work'n that durin' the winter months? ;) i need all the help i can get coz i'm prone to messin' such'p...'t times not e'en the same species, lol.

depends'n the species :) if'n this 'tis 'ndeed a baltimore, 'tis the first i've e'er seen. the female bullock's feathers turn to near snow white's they get closer to their legs. most perplexin', may need to snag the eyes 'f a biologist to solve the mystery. 'tis a joy to've year round. 'ctually wish we'd built 't bigger, with e'en more tree varieties.

yes ma'am, 84x magnification with my lil canon sx4210 is . if'n i'd 'bout 13 grand to plop down, i could gimme the camera set'p 'f my dreams, gotten e'ery lil feather detail.... a gal can dream!

wait a sec, ya got yellow finches?? dang 't... i keep waitin' fer one to show here. way off their range, but so've many species this autumn. fire/drought seems to've caused some to change their paths a bit. thanks :)

@crazyhorseladycx Sure thing!

'twas watchin' a kitten 'cross the pond. makin' a decision 's to whether such 'twas worth the risk 'f a quick bath'n the waterfall. ugh, i feel ya! i've that trouble quite oft. which's why i cheat 'n 've feeders close 'n a camera near. the latter 'f which 'tis quite oft not helpful. by the time i take off the lens cap, get't turned'n, 'nlock the lens'n start to focus - they're gone :)
