Title: 5 Orioles have been hanging around the backyard...

Just like the title says, 5 Baltimore Orioles have been hanging around the backyard the last couple weeks.  Two males and three females have been spotted although someone tells me one of the females may be a juvenile male (see the 3 Orioles in one pic below).  We've only seen a pair the last three years until now...  but also have noticed the Orioles have stuck around this area all summer long.  Usually we see them in late May and early June and not again until late August.  So, we are quite happy with this...
