Female Hooded Oriole
Just posted a shot of my little guy as yesterday's blip.
I know, doesn't look like an oriole. It's a female Hooded oriole. I barely missed the Mister with her on the feeder. Now that would have been a cool shot. I haven't seen many around but maybe that's because I ran out of oranges and haven't been to a store in a couple of weeks.
One thing I've never noticed about these birds is that her jaw (do birds have jaws?) is silver. Then the bill turns black. Perhaps it's because I never shot one panting in the heat which unmasked it.
Is it just me or has anyone noticed the site being a little "jumpy"? For at least a week, I have been having difficulty posting blips because the thing disappears when I try to geolocate it (which I do every day) or edit a section . Even the map pops open way too wide when I click to locate. It's quite frustrating. Damn, it just did it to me now when I tried to edit. I had the foresight to copy it before it happened.
