A rare Valencia sighting

[Grampa Don]

I saw this on my telephone pole this morning.

Probably just passing through on its way south. Lovely plumage.

Don't see any pictures.
@Grampa Don ... click on edit your post, position your cursor where you'd like the pictures to appear, and drag and drop the photo(s) into your post, then click save.

I can see the pictures fine.... tbh, I'm more fascinated with all that complicated tangle of wiring

How the heck did that get there?

Weird @hollydolly !!! ... Wonder why I can't see the pictures ?!?!?!
Ya know, the other day, you couldn't see a picture that I posted but I could.
Strange days.

Sorry @Grampa Don ... belay my last (but I still don't see pictures. Shoot)

Along with the pic of the orange just as interesting is seeing a wood pole with wires. Since we moved to Las Vegas underground everything has been normal. Only power wires are the ones that carry high voltages to the sub station for reduction

I've never seen one of those in all my years, Don. Thanks for sharing. One question? Are the Valencias SEEDLESS?

Thanks, Don.

When I read the thread title, and then began to read your OP,
I thought it was a name for a wild bird, as well as the famous orange.

That was funny to see the photos.
And to read your caption.

 

[Naturally]

HA !!! ... now I see the pics

I can't see it either. It's one of those gremlins that strike Xenforo from time to time.

given that I have a home in the Valencia region of Spain and Valencia oranges are grown everywhere in our area.. including our own gated community grounds... I can tell you they are seeded...

This tract was built in 1954 and that's an original pole. The lowest bunch are the telephone company's. Some of them aren't used anymore. Above them is the cable company, and some of them aren't active either. And, at the very top are the electric power lines. If you could see even higher there are high tension lines at the top. I loved all this when I was doing amateur astronomy. I had to move my scope around to avoid all the wires.

That's what I'd like to know. I sure didn't put it there. It's kind of big for a squirrel or a bird.

Don't know what's going on. I always post my photos on postimage.org and put the address here for the link to them.

The great mystery of the Valencia orange wonder if it will still be there tomorrow @Grampa Don

Right click on the pic and choose SEARCH IMAGE WITH GOOGLE LENS,,,see similar images

Well well, just reopened this thread and the pictures are "gone". Glad I previously got a chance to see them.
On another forum I'm a member of, postimage.org is notorious for glitches/problems linking.
Maybe it does have something to do with forum software

Must be a glitch then. I've used it for years and never had a problem before.

Squirrels?

Don, you have a good eye to have spotted that.

I was an admin on another Xenforo based forum for years. They'd tweak something and break something else quite frequently. But add in the problems postimage.org seems to have and it's can anyone's guess what the problem is.

I can see orange.jpeg, no photo. And that's only in a reply @OneEyedDiva made.

Squirrels?

A giant squirrel.?

Now that’s cool.

Nice that it needs no soil, watering, or other special care. Just a bummer to harvest.
