. . . I like Orioles. That charming little advertising jingle, usually seen as part of the Nabisco Oreo cookie advertisements on Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color when I was a small child, usually surfaces in my consciousness whenever my wife calls out “Oriole!” to announce a visitor to the back yard. In this case a nice, male Bullock’s Oriole.

The Desert Museum Palo Verde trees in our yard attract admiring glances from most observers. In spring, their abundance of blossoms also attracts flying visitors, much to our delight.
