Orchard Oriole

Orchard Oriole
The Orchard Oriole summers here. This Oriole sings a long sweet song and he loves the sweet nectar of these bell flowers. His colors are dark; the female is yellow green. The nest is a woven basket of grasses that hangs from the thin outer branches of trees. The hackberry tree is a fav for nesting and we have plenty. The Oriole's song can be heard up and down the island. Isn't this a fine bird!
