Last Sun I bought an Oreole feeder and some orange nectar for it. This morning we had a female Oreole eating from it. So now hopefully, she will put out the word and soon the male will be visiting. I have the camera on standbye waiting for him to visit.
"If you hang it, they will come!" I saw an oriole in my tree one day this year. He was stunningly beautiful. I'm told I was really lucky to see him -- apparently not that common here. Good luck! You are going to be so excited when he comes.
Hey Beans, you should live in Baltimore for the Baltimore Orioles! Later on we had a juvenile come up to eat from it too. He had problems finding the holes and then pushing the little ball to drink. He was back several times. Then after I put it away, he came back looking for it. I told him he would have to come back tomorrow. If I leave it out, the coons will destroy it!
The Orioles are so beautiful...I love watching them. I put the feeders for them close to the big window so I have a good view and I can watch them during the day. Can't you leave it out until dark or do you get coons all day? I am not sure if they will keep coming back if they come and nothing is there.I know mine eat the most early in the morning...so I make sure everything is set and the jelly is fresh.
