Baltimore Oriole

I forgot about this community, but got a reminder recently and thought I should try and be a bit active on here.

Hive Silver bloggers is a community for retired and soon-to-be retired bloggers as well as seasoned Crypto Hodlers.

One thing when I worked was I was always on the go, and sitting still and taking it easy was something I was never good at, which made getting photos of birds a challenge as I have read it requires patience and sitting and waiting.

Since I am now retired one of the things I want to do is get more shots of Birds, so on Friday morning I went to a spot where I thought there was a chance to catch sight of some birds, took a fold up chair and found a nice spot and sat and waited.

I surprised myself and sat patiently for half an hour, and was lucky enough for some birds to appear, and those are the shots I will share in this post, not the greatest of shots but a start of my birding :)

and since its of Feathered Friends I thought I would add this to #Featherfriday all be it a day late

I am no expert on birds but after a bit of googling I think these may be Baltimore Orioles, feel free to correct me if I am wrong

I will admit 30 Minutes felt like a couple of hours LOL, but it was worth the wait to see these little ones arrive in a tree within range of my 200-600MM lens, unfortunately after I got these shots a Noisy truck came along a nearby road and backfired and the birds all took off, so I packed the chair away and went for a stroll before heading to pick up my wife

I was not totally patient, while sitting waiting for birds to appear but I did stay sitting just took some snaps in the trees LOL

As I was preparing this post, I shared one of the shots on FB and asked to confirm they were Baltimore Orioles which one person did, so I am taking it that that is what these are called

Now most of these shots are of Male Baltimore Orioles, but I think this is a Male and female in the next shot the male on the left and the female on the right
