At first glance, I thought he represented the first Baltimore Oriole that I'd seen since I was a kid growing up in Buies Creek, when they were very present visitors to our nice sloping and wooded backyard.
But he doesn't have the full orange breast that the guidebooks show, and it took me a while to look in the right section in order to see he more closely matched the Eastern Towhee.
Had me fooled and excited for a while till I realized I'd initially mis-identified him. But he's still a wonderful little bird.
