Title: 8+ Orioles the past week...
Post by: Rob'in'To on August 28, 2011, 04:19:09 PM

Yes, late August is here, and we have a rise in Oriole numbers.  At least 8 daily the past few days.  Taking my fill in of them before they disappear soon.

And as I keyed this yesterday, today not one showed up.  Going from filling the jelly feeder one to three times a day and today not touched.  I recon they migrated last night maybe?

But with their disappearance I did see 3 Downy Woodpeckers and one incredibly vocal Red-breasted Nuthatch today.  The Downys have been very sporadic the past few months and other than one sighting about a week ago, the RBNH hasn't really been seen here since last April.
