An Oriole...finally

Ok, I feel like I'm turning into some kind of crazed bird lady. Honestly, I love watching the birds. I bait and feed them so that we can enjoy seeing them on the back deck. For the last two years that we have lived here, I have tried numerous attempts to get the elusive Orioles to come to my yard. Sliced oranges, grape jelly and tons of bird seed all failed. Out of the blue today something caught my eye outside at my hummingbird feeder. An oriole....

Needless to say I was so happy. I wasn't even trying. I guess birds are almost like love, they come when you least expect it. So here is my proof that I finally got to see one up close. It made my day.
