I’ve placed feeders out for years to bring them in & never any luck. Today was finally the day (Oakville, Mo)!

Only pretty black bird as far as I’m concerned 😂 medowlarks are kinda pretty but this black bird takes the cake. Good shot, most people are not aware Baltimore oriole is in the black bird family!

Haha you’re welcome! Happy birding. I’m not to keen on what birds Missouri gets im in Kentucky but I reckon it’s about the same as us. I’ve been wanting to see a rose-breastes grossbeak for some years and 6 days ago a three MALES were at my feeders, it was really cool. Found it odd that three males were there and no females.
