  It was a nice stroke of luck. I was in an abandoned canopy tower, and a couple of orioles were in a balsa tree maybe 30 meters away. Even though I've rarely had luck with orioles and playback, I had had excellent luck with troupials just the day before in the very same spot, so I figured I might as well try. And to my amazement, both of them immediately flew into the tree that was only a couple meters away from my platform!
  I got a couple of nice shots for my "desktop background" folder while they were checking me out :) Posted 3 years ago
