Next up on my alphabetical showing of "5" Star Photos is a Bullocks Oriole. The Bullocks is a very colorful bird that eats insects, berries, and nectar. It's range is the Western United States. It is often found near habitat edges including riparian, woodland, and scrub forests. They breed here in the Southwest, preferring cottonwoods, mesquites, and willows. What I like about this photo is "the stare." He's out in the open, I am at close range, and he's looking me straight in the eye. And, again, nice contrasting -- and muted background.
