The last 3 days I have been entertained by an Oriole. He is so colorful but the hummingbirds are in a snit! Orioles are not usually around here. He must have made a left turn somewhere! Sure has been fun to watch:)

Put out orange halves for the Orioles, then they should leave the feeder alone. But them by the bag, because they sure do devour them lol.

How cute. I don't think I have ever seen an oriole.

Lovely colored birds. Around here, we've had an influx of blue jays and flickers...but the doozy was a pileated woodpecker! Now that's a big fella!
