I love my job 

This was one of the days when I thought that if I didn't work here, I'd have to pay them to sit here and look out the window. Oriole in tree during snow storm These orioles are the first birds to return this spring. Today was a late-season storm (first significant snow since December.) Behind the trees in the background is the Bedford-Billerica Narrow Gauge rail-trail. (Behind that is Concord Road, and about half a mile further is the Concord River.) This photo doesn't do justice to the brilliant red color on the bird's breast. (Irfanview lacks a histogram tool.) Thes birds came to eat the dried fruit on the tree left over from last year. I like my Sony P30 camera too.

Dude, That's an American Robin! Not A Northern Oriole.
 
A co-worker said it was an oriole, and since he was from Maryland, so I figured he knew. I can usually recognize a robin. Thanks for the correction. How'd you find a 5-year-old blog entry?
