On South Padre Island in spring you see lot of trees and shrubs with several birds in them. This tepeguaje has three orioles in it—at least.
The indigo buntings were dropping into the bushes in twos and threes.
Hundreds of dickcissels passed through during the night and day. These three paused for a photo.
This great-tailed grackle gave me the creeps. Wonder why?
The oranges we put out proved irresistible to this male Baltimore oriole.
Looking out onto the bay we saw an ever-changing cast of birds.
I can never resist the chance to take photos of ruby-throated hummingbirds.

Your oriole is doing the big splits for the big sit!
That is one limber oriole!
What a thrill...wish I was there!
Love the oriole, looks ready for Peking Olympics.
Very nice book review on the Young Birders Guide in current "Birder's World" magazine received yesterday, congratulations.

LOLOLOL at that Oriole's acrobatics! Some beautiful birds for sure. Love those dickcissels!
I *love* that photo of the oriole. The grackle's pretty good, too. Those are the sorts of moments that take great patience and a bit of luck to catch on "film".
Great Oriole :)
I tried to comment on your recent posts but blogger got mad at me too and showed a few errors. I'll try later this weekend, hopefully it will be ok by then.
Bill! These are fabulous! That Baltimore Oriole is very athletic, don't ya think?
Wow.
Oops. I tried to comment on your Friday May 2 post... Blogger wouldn't allow.
NASTY BLOGGER! I feel your pain. Hope it ends soon.
Superb Dicksissel trio!
Sorry - I meant "Dickcissel." I always spell that one incorrectly.
Wow! Just came across your blog. AMAZING pictures. Seeing your pictures gives me something to strive for in bird photography. Keep up the great work! Thanks.
