The folks stationed at the hawk observation tower were excited to see this one, I think because it was a late leaver.

Orchard Oriole

Orchard Oriole

17x14 inches. Charcoal and pastel on Strathmore #500 Bristol. Based on photos and sketches of Orchard Orioles and nest seen at Morris Arboretum in Philadelphia, PA in June, 2010.
