It was a dreary morning, but the Baltimore oriole appears unfazed by the wet weather. His bright orange coat is still looking good and adds a little cheer to the backyard buffet when he landed on the dish that holds his grape jelly.
On the other hand, the pileated woodpecker struggles to make his usual smooth landing before settling down to eat breakfast.


The pileated comes around every day for his morning meal, and nothing is going to interfere with it. A bird that big has to have his meals on time. Sometimes a fellow just has to do the best he can, regardless of the weather! Eating is serious business for the birds.
These birds would brighten any day. The oriole is terrific.

Thanks, Belinda. Those orioles are delightful. I wish they were permanent residents.

Brightness in gray. It’s been cool and rainy in Maine for the past month. Hope June brings better weather.
