First for the year (Icterus cucullatus)

This male arrived three days ago and wasn't due for a couple weeks. Two days later the first male bullock's arrived-also early. That's okay with me. Each of them must have been here in previous years because as soon as I put their feeder out with the larger feeder ports, they rushed to it. This was shot through the window but the lake made a great background color.
