Sat. Fun-"sit up straight" (Icterus cucullatus, Icterus bullockii)

This juvie Hooded Oriole was trying to figure out how to drink the sugar water. The male Bullock's Orioles finally got her to get up straight and drink. I see this every year and still have to laugh as I watch them.

Oh that's really lovely Vicki - a super caption you've chosen for it too.

It's really interesting watching how youngsters learn how to go about things, isn't it.
