Orioles Are Leaving

[Hawg]

Mpls paper said orioles start leaving the first few days of September with most gone by mid month. Up until last week I was going thru a  quart of grape jelly every other day and now hardly any the last few days. I had lots and lots of orioles, the most I've ever seen, this year. Goldfinches and grosbeaks were few and I never saw a single hummingbird all summer. Strange as I used to have lots of all of them up till the last couple years.

Our Orioles left a long time ago too, right after the young hatched. Weird year.
