Not a bird seen around here, Delta BC, often. It is a first time for me and I have lived here since 1983. I was also able to get a couple shots of the female. Some days a person gets lucky.

Cropped to 75% of a vertical crop from a horizontal.
I toned down the bright spots and leaves. 7D11, 700mm, f/6.3, 1/800, ISO 400.

Great shot! I like the way the Bullock’s Oriole’s pose and body curve mirrors the curve of the branch. Nice, clean background. Well done!

I really like the composition with the pose and curved branch. Pleasing background.

Very nice use of the curve of the branch to make this composition work. Great example of including the environment.

Well composed with excellent color and detail. As others have mentioned, the curved branch perch is very pleasing.

David, I had to make a comment, agree to all previous and a special mention for the excellent and beautiful sharpness of this photo.
