What kind of bird II
« on: May 11, 2008, 07:23:23 AM »
My house is turning into a bird paradise, other than english sparrows and starlings anyway.  This is my new friend.  I assume its an Oriole but I could be way wrong.

I had the hardest time getting him in the open.  He likes his brush....

I wondered that, but I had in my mind that they had some blue on them or were more exotic looking.  I bet I am thinking of a bunting.   COOL.

He's probably just passing on through, but happy he stopped by.

Not sure what your home habitat is, other than aspen - you'll see these guys all summer long in dry open ponderosa.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

For the most part its the desert LT Murray, with the ponderosa stuff about 5 miles up the road.  I do offer a bit of an oasis here though with some pines, but mostly sage.

Might be why he's there.  With the cool spring, I wouldn't be surprised if nesting isn't delayed due to a lack of bugs.  Don't expect he'll stay around too long though.
