Things that make them go.

They eat whatevers around, from fish,
bugs, grains and even small mammals.

This one of many walks along
the Kenai flats in Alaska.

In the summer months they come
up here to nest. Pairs mate for life.

They do have such a lovely sound! Getting
close to them all bugging out soon if not
already heading south for winter, true
snowbirds! lol

It has suddenly become that time of year. I haven't seen an oriole all day and I am wondering if they left early. Usually they stay a bit later than this.

That’s a big fat bird! Heavier than my cats!

They are a pretty big, this one was at a good
distance and zoomed in. I think its around the
size of three orange cats not counting those
long legs lol ❤

That would be almost 10 kilos!!
I can’t hold that on one arm!!
