Re: a visitor

Oliver:
Looks like a hooded oriole in breeding plumage. You're in San Francisco so it's the right territory too.

I live in Saratoga near San Jose, and I've never seen one of these. Of course my usual haunts are near the Bay or in the Eastern Sierras, so I probably missed this oriole's usual brushy, lower elevation habitat.

About ten days ago, on a typical foggy San Francisco summer day, a visitor
appeared in the bush below our dining room window that is normally
frequented only by hummingbirds. He left after a couple of days. I made a
picture through the window. M6, 90mm Elmarit, Agfa Optima 100. What kind of
bird was it?
