This is the first year I’ve had so many Orioles. earlier I had at least a dozen or more BOs here +4 Orchard orioles. BOs went away (or didn’t use feeders) for a month. OOs disappeared. But I did have at least 3-4 BO nests in or near yard. So I think now one BO family is back eating jelly. But of course, it could just be a family passing through on their way south. Gotta go refill jelly holders!

Catbirds have been here all along eating grape jelly. And on Algerine Rd. Lansing, ~200 block - 5 Wild Turkeys; 1 probably mother of other 4. Based on the behavior of the 4, I decided they were young turkeys; they had a very hard time figuring out how to get past some 2.5’ high weeds in ditch to join mother on other side. She had just flown over the weeds. Finally one youth flew over & the other 3 were still scurrying back & forth when I finally had to leave. They were all gone when I returned 2.5 hours later!😋 Donna Scott Lansing Sent from my iPhone -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME> Rules and Information<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES> Subscribe, Configuration and Leave<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm> Archives: The Mail Archive<http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html> Surfbirds<http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds> BirdingOnThe.Net<http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html> Please submit your observations to eBird<http://ebird.org/content/ebird/>! -- -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
