Spring Color


Four Baltimore Orioles this morning but could only catch one at a time for a picture.  We had spotted one last week so quickly put orange halves in the suet feeders!  I couldn't get the best shot of spring color with the Oriole, Goldfinches and Cardinal all in the same shot but the view from our window on a dreary day was striking!!

  1. I really like that feeder with the 'umbrella'.I had not thought to feed oranges in a suet feeder,but that is a good idea.

  5. Beautiful birds aren't they! We occaisonally see them but they never seem to stay. Our neighbors say the orioles love grape jelly set out on a little tray too. I love the idea of using the suet feeder too for the oranges. Thanks for sharing.
