eyeguy 54 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 well ya... they both like my nectar. I put a screw in one of the holes and keep it in back so when I try to get pics the hummers fly to the sides. oriole landed on it and spun it before this hummer arrived. if i get a few orioles around I just take the perch off. leech~~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishingstar Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I just had a bird at my suit that is the size of a cardinal. It was bright red with black wings. Anyone have a idea what it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grainbelt Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Not sure what this bird is called. It only wanted grape jelly. The orioles were thick on the feeders, there were a dozen at a time in the crappy weather. This was in douglas county. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
