Black-vented Oriole
The Black-vented Oriole !! Texas has several kinds of oriole … they come up from Mexico to build their nests.
The Black-vented is unusual for the Rio Grande Valley. It is my hope to see him once more this autumn/winter.
The coral bean tree he feeds on will be in bloom in winter. Celebrate the nectar! Celebrate the color of the bloom!
Celebrate the swooping swiftness of his flight … as he alights in the early morning to sing! to sing!
