Orioles

[Ally]

So excited to get some orioles this morning, and drama too, because there are two girls! One was chased, and she flew into glass and fell, by the time I rushed out, she picked herself up and flew away.

Nice move ... make the birds come to you.
Your photos are getting better all the time.
With so much backyard action you don't even need to go out,
although going out is still a good thing.
Peak of migration should be next week.

Thank you so much for your kind encouragement. Did you see my rosebreasted grosbeaks last week? that was a big treat!

Yes Ally, I did see your Grosbeak guests and they were a rowdy bunch of ingrates.
Once had a plate of seed which proved to successfully attract a pair of RB Grosbeaks
but it also attracted Cowbirds, Grackles, Mourning Doves and Starlings as well as rodent party crashers.
It was chaos on a plate. The orioles preferred the hummingbird feeder.

wow! they are so beautiful! I had a tiny mouse, opposum was not expected. Two deer came during the cold not long ago. And could you please take a look and see one of my two orioles on the feeder was actually a boy not a female? The female came last night has more.white and she is paler green. Thank you so much!
