I thought we would enjoy this bright Baltimore Oriole on this dreary foggy day in Northern Virginia. Image taken in the spring in Northern Minnesota!

petspeopleandlife - Oh, that must have been really something to see with so many of them around. I have not seen one in many years. They were summer residents and nested here. I looked for the nest/s every summer for they were so unique.
