19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Juvenile Baltimore Oriole

I love how this sweet young Oriole was listening to something as it cocked its head. The Orioles are migratory wild birds that arrive here in the spring and sometimes stick around until September before they leave for South America. I shot this through the window as it was resting on the trellis and waiting its turn on the jelly dish in our backyard.
