Totally delighted

First stop- the cotoneaster shrub. No orioles, but lots of black throated blue warblers facing off. Sharing is not in their vocabulary.
So small, so powerful.
Redbelly woodpecker nearby, also not what I was waiting for.
Finally, late afternoon after having been all around the park, back to the cotoneater shrub and in flew the much awaited oriole, a male. Oh, joy!!!!!
The oriole knew I was delighted to see him, so he perched and posed. This was a first.
