yesterday morning, I was sitting on the back deck, listening to the waterfall, watching the fish, and reading my book…

all of a sudden a bird flew down to the orange halves I had on the edge of the deck…

it was only there for a second and then flew away… it was in a bit of shadow, but I was pretty sure it was an oriole…

a few minutes later, it came back and I got a few photos… not great, but made me happy…

after it left, I moved the oranges a bit so I could watch better…

and so far, I haven’t spotted it again;-)…

it has been years since I’ve seen any in the garden, although a number of them live along the creek in the next block…

but, I will keep watching and put out a fresh orange in the morning;-)…
