[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French]
Although it lives in the sparsely wooded forests of southern Quebec and in the agricultural areas of the Maritime provinces, the Northern Oriole, or Baltimore Oriole, has adjusted well to the urban environment. Known for the sturdiness of its nest, it feeds mainly on insects but also enjoys fruits and nectar. This orange-coloured bird is very sensitive to the cold! It prefers the tropics to the snow, so it flies away from Quebec winters. The length of the bird is about 22 cm.

Brilliant contrasting colours - makes this picture very special, although it is not completely in focus.

This photo you captured against a clear blue sky making the other colours stand out beautifully. Very nice POV.
