Went out today to test my new (used) camera with the new (used) lens I bought in January! Not disappointed!
Hooded orioles (Icterus cucullatus) are back in town!
And so are the very similar Bullock's orioles (Icterus bullockii)!
I was excited enough to find both species of orioles, but the icing on the cake was getting an unexpected lifer - a rufous hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus)!
Thank you @melinda010100 for starting #featheredfriends and this community! I may not be very active, but it is so nice to know exactly where to go when I DO get the energy and motivation to post!
Fabulous photos! All 3 are birds that I have never had the pleasure of seeing in real life. You are such a valuable member of this group, even if you don't have the opportunity to hang out with us very often. I'm glad you had an opportunity to be out in nature. Be safe and thanks for posting to #featheredfriends. !tip
