I Claim Thee as Mine!!!!
A first!!! With quite a few western tanagers hanging around now, I have put out some orange halves and a wee bit of grape jelly for them to snack on. Yesterday morning I got a quick glimpse of orange before it flew off. Could it be? Later that day I got my answer as this male Bullock's Oriole came back to "claim" the jelly as his own. While not the natural perch I was hoping for, this is still the first time I have seen one in our backyard, He was here again this morning so maybe a better shot is in store?
I am also hoping a female was here yesterday as well as they look similar to the female western tanagers.
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!
