JBMasterAngler Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Had 2 pairs of rose breasted grosbeaks in my yard. That was cool. Another cool sight...I look out at my feeders, and all in the glance, I see the black/white of a woodpecker, the orange of an oriole, yellow of the goldfinch, and blue of a blue jay. Was a nice smorgasbord of birds! eyeguy 54 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delcecchi Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 For some reason there have been no birds today, unlike the past week. Did they all go up north for the opener? I even put out some oranges near the grape jelly to see if anything will eat them this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
