This is Not a Robin. Look really closely




I first saw it on the wire and screamed out to The Terminator,
"Oh my God, it is an oriole". Of course a camera was not near by.
I had to run softly to retrieve one. I managed to grab it quickly enough.
It went from the wire to to our humming bird feeders,
then stood on the bird feeder stand for a moment,
and then went to the bird bath to drink.
I snapped my camera quickly, and was lucky to get any decent shot,
but you can recognize it is NOT a ROBIN but an ORIOLE.
Such excitement. This is the first we both have seen in our own backyard!
Time for the Man from the Office to buy a genuine Oriole Feeder. YES!
