Must be that Puppy Monkey Baby sorta thang... Mrs. Cheviot has that sorta stuff tucked around the yard. I don't mind as long as I don't have to move it when I mow. 

Saw an orchard oriole out the window this morning while I was seated in the oval office.

didnt see an orchard last year, maybe this year. the frogs were up front in a flower bed for years. Last year they moved up to the stage from the giant willow we had to take down.

straightened the hairdos up a bit for reb. maybe an oriole will land on one again.

My first Oriole arrived about 10 this morning. I was beginning to think they'd skipped my yard this year. I had an Orchard show up just one time last year. The year before he hung around for a couple weeks.

I have several oriole's fighting over and using the orange and grape jelly feeder the last few days. I do enjoy hearing them sing. 

No hummers yet. First day the feeders been out so see how it goes.

I had Orioles Sunday for the first time this year. dam catbird kept chasing them away, are catbirds not a good thing to have around? Maybe that's why my numbers have been down the last few years and up on catbirds.Are they Angry Birds?

we were up on Bowstring for a few days and the orioles moved in on tuesday. they were all over the place. a few hummers also. had an eagle just down from the campground.

I came across an Oriole nest the other day but it didn't look active.  I went by yesterday and there as a pair hanging around and the female went in several times.  Are they late nesters or could this be a second round?

I also saw a female Orchard Oriole few hundred yds away.  I heard the male orchard singing but I didn't see him in the heart cover.
