Lots of color in the yard today, Grosbeaks and Orioles are fighting for Jelly/oranges and suit. The Orioles must be pretty hungry if their eating suit, same with the Grosbeaks if they are eating oranges/jelly. I counted 11 Orioles eating at the same time with more in the trees. They'll establish pecking order in the next few days and some will move on and some will stick around all summer. There was a pair of hummers at a feeder yesterday but too much activity for them today.
Update: There must have been a good Oriole crop last year , there were well over 20 of them at the feeders this afternoon. We start with 1/ an orange and when the orange is mostly eaten up we fill the cavity with grape jelly.
