Orchard Oriole

Central Park, NYC

Icterus spurius

On May 5 2008, three Orchard and twelve Baltimore Oriles were in a Carolina Silverbell tree - a very colorful and beautiful sight. Adult male Orchard Orioles are brick red and black, while females are greenish-yellow. This bird is an immature male.

The framing and lighting make this photo pop! I like it.

Another great capture. You're getting so good with your backgrounds, compositions, and use of just enough dof to capture a beautiful shot with good BG separation. Lovely image. As always, big V.

Love this photo, The simplicity makes the shot and proves that a close-up of the bird is not essential in producing a very pleasing photo. Well done Lloyd.
