Did I capture this picture of a hooded Oriole deep in the rainforest of Costa Rica, or was he perched on a palm tree in my neighbor's yard? Guess correctly and you win a pat on the back!

Well, Kevin, you did say "June 18, 2021 — Irvine, California" just below the pictures...

Or is it perhaps a trap?

The southern limit of the range of the Hooded Oriole is in northern Guatemala and Belize.

I don't recall you going to Costa Rica.

For that to be a proper "Hooded Oriole in Southern California" photograph, it should be noshing from a hummingbird feeder.

I started blogging in 2002 at my own site. In 2004 I got hired by the Washington Monthly and then moved to Mother Jones in 2008, where I blogged and wrote for the print magazine for 12 years. Finally, in 2021, I came full circle, leaving MoJo to once again blog at my own site.

Prior to blogging, I was vice president of marketing for Kofax Image Products, a software company in Irvine, California. I’m married, no kids, two cats. In 2014 I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow. It’s currently incurable, but modern treatments are pretty good and I remain alive and hopeful that a cure is on the way.
