Congrats, Mik! Had our first oriole today. I have not had luck with oriole feeders. They leak and attract ants. What kind do you use?

[Mik]

They are a lot like hummingbird feeders except they have perches and places for fruit and grape jelly.

I've tried some like that, too.

How long do your orioles stick around?

[Mik]

No idea. This is the first year we’ve had them.

[Mik]

Very exciting year. We are getting more Orioles and I just saw a Scarlet Tanager. A first!

@Mik We put out oranges sliced in half, and stuck to a pole. The orioles love it.

[Mik]

That’s what we do, plus grape jelly.

Beautiful birds, Mik and Mark!

The orioles seem to be gone, as well as the grosbeaks. Oh well. We had them and they will remember next year. Not sure how they do that, but they do.
