of my calendar for 2025 show a Hummingbird and a Baltimore Oriole. May is my birthday month, and I love hummingbirds, so that choice was easy. I am seeing fewer and fewer every year, and this year was especially bad but maybe also because I could not properly take care of the garden this spring. June is a Baltimore Oriole, and there were many here this year. I love their calls and their colors and am always sad to see them leave.

My calendars are on sale for the entire coming week until Dec. 1. (My shop is here, but also linked on my website: t.ly/QOxEo) Bird photography (I know it feels like a lot of "shopping" stuff right now but I will return to normal business soon.)
