We enjoyed seeing a Baltimore oriole for the first time over the past few days. A very colorful bird indeed.
Those pesky sparrows love to photo bomb
This fellow loves our hummingbird feeder
It seems like he is proud of his plumage
We’ve seen at least two males (the pics are of a male) and at least one female. Hopefully there is a nest nearby. We may have to get another hummingbird feeder, as the orioles have taken over this one. Orioles love nectar, and appearently fresh fruit. We’ll try hanging some cut oranges up soon.

Amazing the diversity of birds that are drawn to our various feeders.

So true, Art. We had another new one this afternoon: Red-winged blackbird immature male and a mature male. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

This means we will get the Orioles in a few weeks. We put out halves of oranges for them and they love to eat them. We just fix th orange halves up on wooden platform that our feeder sits on.

I used to enjoy hearing and seeing orioles when they came back to NY for the summer. I haven’t spotted one in the mountains of NC yet. That doesn’t mean they aren’t here, just that I haven’t seen one.
In NY I used to notice flocks of red-winged blackbirds when they swooped down on the reeds lining the inlet of Long Island Sound. They are in NC, too, though not as easy to spot.

We have seen a couple of red-winged blackbirds for the first time. They are somewhat plentiful out in the country along side fields.

The Baltimore oriels are such pretty birds! We don’t see too many around here but that might be because we don’t put out the right food to attract them!
