I was up early, looking at a gray and stormy sky. The weatherman was unsure so I took a chance and went out anyway.
There wasn’t enough light for a decent bird picture, so I started right in on the bugs. The Oriole came along much later, and was close enough to get a half-decent image. A few colorful bugs saved the day.

This Orchard Oriole was feeding very actively up near the lake.
