black-naped oriole (Oriolus chinensis) by alabang, on Flickr

The black-naped oriole (Oriolus chinensis) is a bird of the oriole family and is found in many parts of Asia. There are several distinctive populations within wide distribution range of the species and in the past the slender-billed oriole (Oriolus tenuirostris) was included as a subspecies. Unlike the golden oriole which only has a short and narrow eye-stripe, the black-naped oriole has the stripe broadening and joining at the back of the neck. Males and females are very similar although the wing lining of the female is more greenish. The bill is pink and is stouter than in the golden oriole.

The last two shots are exceptional, yummy creamy bokeh and tack sharp!
Where both taken with a 1Dx?
Thanks for sharing Nelu and Dolina

Late Sunday evening, a Western Bluebird family stopped by the watering hole. These two recent fledglings sat together for about 15 seconds watching mom down at the small pool below.

He seems to be doing OK though, just not so good at holding himself onto things with one set of talons/claws!
