~Bullock’s Oriole in Milton, NY 3\/2\/16.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Third time’s a charm. This afternoon I went for the\u00a0BULLOCK’S ORIOLE<\/strong>\u00a0that has been visiting a homeowner’s feeder in Ulster County, and after two unsuccessful previous attempts, I finally got to see the bird. I was joined by a Connecticut birder and we were able to locate the bird in a nearby tree relatively quickly. It fed on the far side of the suet feeder for a short time\u00a0and then flew into a large evergreen where I lost track of the bird. Moments later, a Sharp-shinned Hawk shot through the yard and scattered all the birds.\u00a0The Connecticut birder moved on; I stayed and the oriole returned one more time to the yard, perched for a few moments\u00a0in a tree, fed very briefly and flew off. I was happy that I stayed because I was able to get a couple decent shots when the bird perched in the tree. The bird was not as large as I was for some reason thinking it would be, and the yard is mostly in shade so the bird also did not stand out as much I would have thought. It was\u00a0and my 345th life bird and my 258th bird in New York State.<\/p>\n

The homeowner welcomes birders to come try for the bird – email me for the address if you want to go for it (it has been published before, but I feel strange putting the address here). Please ring the doorbell and ask for permission and he will tell you where to best view the feeders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
