|
| The Orchard Oriole (Icterus spurius) is a common nesting bird across much of the eastern half of the United States. The first 5 shots shown here show male Orchard Orioles in the extreme southeast corner of Texas, at Texas Point, Sabine Pass, Jefferson Co., Texas, in June, 2008. The Salt Cedar vegetation in this area serves as breeding habitat to several pairs of these orioles. These shots were taken with a Canon EOS 1D Mark III and EF 600mm F/4 l IS lens and 1.4X extender. The bird in the 5th shot is a singing first-year male bird. |  |
