Wild Bird Wednesday


I haven't done the Baltimore Orioles this year because it seemed like everyone else was doing them.  That is good because it means that they are flourishing.  But, every year ours come, stay for two weeks or so and then leave.  This year is different and I am hesitant to say anything for fear of jinxing my hopes, but they seem to be staying longer and we are all hoping they are nesting close by.  Fingers crossed :)










I'm taking donations for Grape Jelly ... :)

Happy WBW!

Ooh and ahh. You can post photos of these charmers as often as you want. And I hope they are nesting nearby. For you, and for my greedy self.

Bill used to feed them all through June and July, before he started driving a truck. They would come and go from the direction of the vacant lot. Now he enjoys them on his road trips. We see them often. Nice post!

I love your oriole photos. I don't have any by me, so I'm really enjoying seeing photos of yours. I do hope they are nesting close by so that they will stay on. These birds are so beautiful. I like your feeders too. I think I'm going to try putting one up to see if we can attract some orioles. Hmmmm. a projecst for this week.

My phone and cable have been out again all night and most of today. The repair man just left, and hopefully all is fixed. You have a wonderful day, hugs, Edna B.

Pretty birds! Don't let mine find out you trim the oranges for them, they'll want the same deluxe treatment.
Ours are starting to slow down, not so many of them now.

What great looking birds! It would be a real treat to have them stay for even a short while
