Two Backyard Birds

Oriole at the hummingbird feeder
Orioles don't seem to stay around, but we see them a couple of times a year on their way to wherever they like to hang out.

California Quail
The quail have paired up - we'll be looking for babies soon.  The male will look out for danger as the female look for food.
