Day 8

Bullock's Oriole
Sighting: Eagle, Idaho
June 11, 2010

We were in our car, stopped at a vacant lot and this bright beautiful yellow bird was playing in the tree; singing so beautifully. I wasn't able to capture a great picture so it took some time to identify him. It was so exciting when I could say for certain this was the bird we saw yesterday.



Be like the bird, who

Halting in his flight

On limb too slight

Feels it give way beneath him,

Yet sings

Knowing he hath wings.
