Well, I read in one of my guides that the Altamira Oriole is rare with a very limited range in southern Texas. Let tell you how I got this shot. It was during our birding day at Laguna Atascosa. When I went in the visitors center just to look around, I overheard one of the staff say to another visitor, "That is an Altamira Oriole." I turned around and through the big viewing window was this first year bird, eating an orange that had been hung on a big tree branch. What a beautiful bird! I still had my camera hanging from my shoulder so I turned and fired off a couple of shots.
