Baltimore Oriole

Baltimore Oriole, 2.75″ wide by 3.5″ high

One of the most strikingly colorful birds we get in Maine, a visit from a Baltimore Oriole is always such a treat!

This one was in and around a few wild apple trees, and the bring orange mixed with the soft pink and white of the apple blossoms and the fresh green leaves just coming out was really next level. The Oriole was moving quickly through the dense tangled branches and after a long time and many failed attempts I finally photographed it in an open spot and felt quite lucky.
