What is this song in the background? It sounds so familiar!

@mms09 This song is "Take Five" by Dave Brubeck.

I've had one stop in at my feeder for the last 2 years. He's here for a day to eat out of my humming bird feeder and then I don't see it again till the next year. I'll post a video of it.

dude!!! i came here cuz i have an oriole, 2 blue jays.. and other beutiful birds in my backyard at 7am Lynn MA :)

[folkq]

what you need now of course is a Strange Meadowlark.

It is possible that the oriole saw you putting out the food, and was less afraid because of that. I have had several different species of birds come within a few feet of me while I was filling the feeders. It is amazing how tame they will become when they are hungry.

He probably got alittle drunk from feeding on fermenting fruit on a tree or feeder thus allowing you to get close to him. Alcohol puts your guard down.

Thank you haha...by the way, this looks like your average Baltimore Oriole to me...What did you find strange about it?

[jakepatuli]

He was sitting on the ground out in the open for a half hour. Then didn't fly away when I came close up to it.

[SnakeHandlerMoe]

If this was during migration, it is possible that the bird was simply exhausted.

[CanadianRailer]

Yes they are a beauty, i got soooo close to a gold finch, i could of touched it, i dont know why it didnt flyaway? must ahve been frozen...
