Always A Woman To Me

I don't know if Billy Joel would serenade this female Hooded Oriole or not - but I heard this song this morning and can't get it out of my head!

I almost mistook this bird as a Lesser Goldfinch, like I did in this blip not too long ago.  Then I looked at it in the camera again. It was much too large to be a goldfinch.  I double-checked it in my Birds of Southern Arizona book.  Sure enough, I was right.

I thought this was the first time I ever captured a female, however, it was in that previous blip in which I did.  Hopefully, this one will be in better focus than the original.

I tossed in a couple of extras, too.  In the first, she's glaring at me.  The second one shows her lapping up some hummingbird nectar.  They really get deep into the port!
