I'm glad so many people are finally getting to see this bird. I felt a bit
bad when I'd had two looks and pretty much nobody else had seen it at all,
especially since I was sure the bird was hanging around the neighborhood.

The oriole is very, very pretty. If it blesses you with a good look, it's
definitely worthwhile. But, yes, the bird is flighty. It does seem overly
shy and modest.
