This was a new sighting for me. I have seen male Bullock’s orioles and they are quite distinguishable with their orange and black coloring. When I spotted this female though, I had no idea what it was. Usually the females of most bird species are kind of plain looking but apparently not with the Bullock’s.

Bullock’s Oriole stands out

This is a little bird that you can’t help but pay attention to. I was focused on another species when this handsome fellow flew by and landed in the tree by me. Needless to say, that bright orange required me to take a closer look.

Bullock’s Oriole keeps watch over its shoulder

July 23, 2015 by Tony Leave a Comment

A small bird that I have struggled to get decent pics of, the male Bullock’s Oriole is a very beautiful bird.  It’s orange, yellow and black plumage really make it stand out.

It has however proven elusive to me and seems to run and hide when I come with my camera.  Very frustrating! I did finally capture a couple of decent images recently of one, this being one of them.

For more on this bird, see here.
