Oriole nest revealed
Early in the summer I had a pair of orioles around all the time. I even saw the female gathering twigs for a nest. Now that the leaves are coming down, I can see their nest high up in one of the trees in our back yard. Speaking of leaves coming down we are under a wind advisory, so I am guessing all of the leaves will be down shortly. Even a chance for snow flurries tomorrow. Winter is coming earlier than I would like.

Love the picture of the red leaf
I've been following your blog since spring. We live in Germantown in a less wooded area where we see fewer hummingbirds. We do house bluebirds and swallows and get orioles for a while each year, which is nice. I did plant Cardinal flowers and see more hummingbirds this year than the previous two or three years combined so I'm hopeful. I've enjoyed your pictures. Can I ask what type of camera and lenses you use? You take some nice pictures. Thanks. Dave
I use a cannon 30 D. My favorite lense for hummingbird pic is a zoom lense ef100-400mm. I am still trying to learn to use the camera to it's potential. I think I may need to take a class or two. Glad you had more hummingbirds this year. The flowers really do draw them in.

Thank you for your reply. We'll be planting many more cardinal flowers and such next spring.
We just bought a Nikon D40 this weekend but we don't have a $1,300zoom yet. Hopefully we'll get one soon so we can try to capture a few of those moments next year.
Thanks.
