Even though it is cold damp and lousy the birds are starting to show.

Hi John,
I think it's a great shot that shows the behavior of orioles well...going after nectar. The bird is very sharp and I just like the pose and posture a lot. I think I recognize that bird from 3 weeks ago here in Texas :-). Glad he made it up your way so soon!

A very nice shot showing the bird nicely in it's habitat without it being a distraction, well done.
