Colors at the feeder

On the right, a Baltimore Oriole feasting on grape jelly. Top left, a male Indigo Bunting and lower left, a male American Goldfinch. Going to move this bird feeder closer to a good window and should give a better background. Wish it could have been sharper, but wanted to share all the colorful birds. Have two pair of Baltimore Orioles coming for the grape jelly and even spotted a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak eating the grape jelly, which was a first for me to see.

o:) I love pictures showing two different species together... but you offer us three here!!! :eek!: And so colourful!!! :bounce: Thank you for this "birds party", Darlene!!! :t:
 
Nice capture .... Hard to get all in focus at the same time when they are that wide. Very enjoyable shot for those of us that like small birds
 
That is awesome. I always have to go to such a different habitat to see an Oriole or a Bunting and you've got em in the backyard! Nice shot!
 
Beautiful shot...I love all of those little birds.. I am still waiting for the orioles to get here near Appleton, Wisconsin..
 
Thanks kindly Eastwood, Marian, Wilma, Bob, jgheels, and Sherry8

Glad you enjoyed them. At the time, I was planning on getting just the oriole,

then the goldfinch showed up, and much to my surprise, the indigo bunting...

well, my heart was racing :-O and thought to myself, this is my lucky day.

Have a great weekend all, and Sherry isn't it always a thrill to hear your first

oriole sing of the spring, then to try and spot him. Darlene ;)
