 This is only the 2nd time I have seen a Baltimore Oriole in my yard in 37 years and the first time I have been able to photograph one. I was actually outside with my camera hoping to see a hummingbird which is expected to arrive from Central America anytime now. The Oriole is also a migratory bird. I have not seen the hummers yet.

Lovely colors and sharp sharp focus. If you are into cloning on your images, you could shorten the branch behind his head and really get the bird to pop off the background.
