Female Hooded Oriole at my Humming Bird feeder
Apr 4, 2018 23:40:58 #
All right! The female Oriole showed up in fairly good light. She went to one of the humming bird feeders instead of the Oriole feeder. That's OK, a hummer came along and went to the Oriole feeder. The female had to put up with competition and being harassed by the bees.
Note other than condensation the feeder was scrubbed inside and out - all three feeders got scrubbed.
#1 80D, 100-400 mk2 + 1.4x III @ 560, 1/400 @ f/8.0, ISO 320 off tripod from about 50-55'
#2 all same but ISO 400
PP in the new version of LR & PS upgraded this morning.
Fine detail in feathers is really hard to get in these more or less solid bright colors, esp with back light like these.

Thanks
I got several frames with bees, a couple the bees are much sharper - but far from the bird. In others the bird is positioned poorly - like half the head behind the feeder.

Thank You
Everybody likes those bees.
Maybe I should clone a few of the sharp bees in closer to the bird before cropping and just keep my mouth shut about moving the bees.

Beautiful bird and lucky you, Jerry! I'd love to have an oriole come to dinner!

Thanks very much.
Last summer I had at least two pairs coming. I saw two males at the same time and one of females I saw had a bit different coloring than the other. Also when leaving one male and one female would go west out of my yard and the other two would circle and go east.

Jerry, do you put out grape jelly or just use the oriole and hummer feeders to attract your orioles?
