Another Oriole













Here's another Oriole for you birdwatchers out there!!

OK.  I have to admit it!  I've lived in Missouri all my life and have rarely seen an Oriole.  Now I've seen two (different species) in less than an hour!

Shortly after seeing the Orchard Oriole published earlier, this one also came to the feeder on our deck.  However, this bird was quite a bit more difficult to identify.  After consulting with several experts it was finally identified as a (probably) young Baltimore Oriole who hadn't yet molted into his species' typical orange color.
