Orioles & Hummers in less than 10 weeks!!

[fadedrose]

I look forward to my first sighting of these beauties the first week of May. My excitement is on a higher level than with Christmas, presidential elections, new clothes, etc., birthdays, - really, nothing matches it.

Couldn't resist sending this pic of an oriole I found on line. It also tells where orioles love jelly (it doesn't say grape jelly, but I know it's their favorite), so get a jar of grape jelly handy and start to put some out anywhere, on a branch, top of bird feeder - the last week of April...

You may have your first sighting of an oriole at a hummingbird feeder, which is how I had mine about 9 years ago. And they always come back. Gawd I love 'em...

I am getting excited already.

1. You can also cut oranges in half and stick them on tree branches

That brings in orioles, and also warblers who go after the insects that will come to the orange as well.
