Orioles can really eat

I feel like a zoo keeper, preparing all of the oranges, dried blueberries, raisins and grape jelly for them every day, they are going through quite a lot of food since they found me.

Male Baltimore, 3 male orchard, and female orchard, I think.

I think this is a female Baltimore, they are hard to distinguish from the orchard females, but her color does look a tad brighter, and a male rose breasted grosbeak sharing the feeder.

Nice pics Mary. Wonderful of you to provide such a buffet for these beauties. I saw an Oriole a few times over the winter and it was always a pleasure.

Great pics Mary! You certainly deserve getting such wonderful visitors!

Do you use sugar water or an Oriole nectar and do you make it the same as for hummers? I want some of these guys!!

Mary, how marvelous! And what a lovely setting you have.

Good pictures, Mary. We get hooded orioles here and I like to see pictures of the others.
