 For several weeks, I've had the pleasure of a variety of song birds visiting my Hummingbird feeder, in addition to a few Hummingbirds.  In particular, a pair of Hooded Orioles have been daily visitors.  The male was shown in my last post, so the female is featured in this one.  Both are beautiful birds, but then so are all other Oriole species. Hooded Oriole (F) White-breasted Nuthatch (M) Acorn Woodpecker (M) Ladder-backed Woodpecker (M) Hooded Oriole (M) Chipping Sparrow White-crowned Sparrow Scott's Oriole (M) Scott's Oriole (J) Bullock's Oriole (M) Lazuli Bunting (F) Verdin Inca Dove Hummingbird Sage House Finch (F) House Finch (M) Black-headed Grosbeak (M) Lesser Goldfinch (M)

 It's nice to see a few migrants on their way north, joining the residents who live here year-round.  Seeing different birds each time out is what keeps things interesting.  Without that, I'd probably have to find a new hobby.  Some of our out of state birders have come from such faraway places as Washington, Virginia. Michigan and Florida.
