What happened to the Orioles?

[delcecchi]

For the first time in quite a few years we don't have any orioles around.  Put out the feeders and even some twine for nests but not a one showed up.  Anyone else notice them missing?  Send them back to me if you see them.

normal crowd here.  not hitting the jelly as much so far.

I've seen the normal crowd as well.

[delcecchi]

Well I guess it is just me then. I wonder what happened that they skipped us.

[roony]

It must be bad karma, lol,  we've had an ample supply of them here as well.

Had them for a couple of weeks and then they were gone for about 2 weeks ; saw one now this morning.

Never had this happen before.

They're here but not consuming the amount of jelly they did earlier. Suspect their nesting season is partly responsible. Most of what I'm seeing at the feeder are males, both orchard and Baltimore types.

​Yep, we had plenty a couple weeks ago. Then a lull, assuming while nesting, now they are back in full force with a few young ones starting to show up now.
