Orchard Oriole Photos

Photography by Terry Sohl

My Favorite: Beautiful little orioles that I see much very frequently throughout the state. This photo of an inquisitive male was taken in 2015 up near Lake Thompson, in Kingsbury County, South Dakota. There are some wonderful, large grasslands in the area with scattered groves of trees. Coupled with the open lake with scattered trees around the edges, and there's some very nice habitat for Orchard Orioles near the lake.
