You'll Poke Yer Eye Out! - a photo on Flickriver

            This is a BIF shot of a female Bullock's oriole diving through a dense stand of the invasive and prickly star thistle on a very hot day (hence the constant panting). The bird was feeding on the dried seed heads. San Louis National Wildlife Refuge.
