A Bullock Oriole fledging in the nest. She flew up on branches a few times while I watched. The Parents were on the same tree.
This is a really large crop (10% at most) and I am posting it mainly for Birder interest (they should have a category here for that).
The nests are really cool, they are a migrating bird here , (Oregon) so I was surprised to see so many on a hike along the Deschutes
River in central Oregon. I saw probably 10 nests, all very hard to photograph or get close to. I didn't want to get too close anyway.
