Baltimore Oriole Nest

I was going to be away on the weekend and would miss my Sunday walk, so I joined up with the Tuesday crew on Beaver Damn Flats (February 7th). A lot of waterfowl as usual on the river with the ever present eagles on the look out for the easy pickings. We found this Baltimore Oriole nest very high up (60-80 feet) in an Aspen tree, first one that I have seen, and now that I know what to look for, it won't be my last.
As always (it seems) there are woodpeckers everywhere and I couldn't resist this Downy. I find the yellowish early morning light hard to deal with when it comes to post production processing. Maybe this looks okay?

I have been away on a fishing trip to BC, photos and entry to follow!
