The action shots of the Oriole are just great, especially getting to see all the coloring on the wings and tail.
Perhaps the truth depends on a walk around the lake - Wallace Stevens

The hawk seems unimpressed. "Leave me alone, buddy."

I was on an Audubon trip a few weeks ago and we watched a Red-tail being mobbed by a kestrel and the hawk did not react whatsoever, then a Bullock's Oriole took over and the hawk immediately left the vicinity.

New Year's Resolutions:
Get my lifelist to 300 (at the time of the original writing-293, currently-294)
Finally get Mountain Quail and Vesper Sparrow
Top my previous single year best (2011-253) I'm at 210 as of 6/11.
