    Wow!! Those are SOME FOTOS! Excellent and easy to see the birdies. That goldfinch is a real looker.
    I really do like your bird fotos when you post them.

    Great pics Sherry. I've got all the same birds here. My hummingbirds have been in my oriole feeders also but none of the others. Thanks for sharing.

    Also, the oriole love oranges. I put out orange halfs for them along with the necter and jam.

    tschnath....my orioles here don't eat the oranges...I have tried and they just go to waste. So I just use the jam and the nectar. Funny how birds do different things in different parts of the country...

    That is funny Sherry because the ones we have devour the oranges. I can't get them out there fast enough.

    Your birds are so pretty.I wish the cats would leave the birds alone here so I can watch them too.

    glendann...I have 2 cats that live across the street from the pergola area. I had to ask the lady to keep her cats home but they let them roam all day and night. It is against the law here but I will scare them away if they become a nuisance..

    I still have a lot of action at my Oriole feeder..I am even seeing the small yellow finch come closer..haven't seem him taste it yet but he is almost to the jam area...the young orioles are abundant and the house finches love it the most I think...Sherry
