Re: PESO: At the feeder today
Definitely try the grape jelly. We get a constant parade at our feeder including yesterday a young chick being fed by its father.

Re: PESO: At the feeder today
Walt, My first encounter with Baltimore Orioles was in Wisconsin as the cherry trees were in bloom. I've put Orange halves out for them and had some success, but you need trees. We've got to try the grape jelly trick. Regards, Bob S. On Fri, May 16, 2014 at 10:56 PM, Walt wrote: > I've never seen an oriole in my area.

PESO: At the feeder today
We have had 5-6 of these Orioles hanging around, drawn to the neighborhood no doubt by the fact that Meg and our neighbours on both sides put out an ample supply of grape jelly for them. http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p155717848/e29afe54b An addition this year to our list of sightings are a couple of indigo buntings.
