We spent a second day at the Santa Ana reserve, mainly to mop up on the birds we missed yesterday. I was especially keen to see the orioles that make this site special. After a couple hours we managed to see and photograph the Hooded Oriole (upper three images) and Altamira Oriole (fourth image). Despite their bright plumage, they are really tricky to find, but perseverance pays and I managed to get these shots. In addition, we have also recorded Baltimore Oriole and Orchard Oriole. Tomorrow we head for Bentsen State Park where we hope to see Green Kingfisher and better views of Green Jay.
Amazing colours dous this bird have. Great shots Steve.
