| Verbal Narrative & Description of Observation | This bird is a miracle that has blessed my husband and I for these past 3 winters. As of 10 days ago, he has been joined by another oriole! That one is either a fledgling, or a female, and they are now coming together every day to my yard. This will be verified by Catheryn Abbot and her associate as they come tomorrow to take better pictures. |
