Still haven't seen any orioles here but we did talk about yours at one of my reading groups this week because another member grew up in NJ, as I did, and has fond memories of the birds and their amazing nests. Wonderful photos.Judy Kruegerhttp://keepthewisdom.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-31367735584474610232016-05-13T14:51:58.596-05:002016-05-13T14:51:58.596-05:00I got my feeder from Duncraft and it does work wel...I got my feeder from Duncraft and it does work well for the two foods that seem to attract the orioles - the grape jelly and orange halves. It's probably too late to put up a feeder to attract them now. They've pretty much all passed through. They are normally here in early May, but I think they arrived a little earlier this year. I actually got my feeder up a bit late. They'll be back through in the fall, of course, but I almost never see one in my yard then.

I saw an oriole in my yard last week and managed to get a blurry photo of it. Not sure if it was male/female/adult/immature though. I don't know much about them. <br /><br />Love your feeder - wondering if I should get one too.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09993407315693699146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-54942504464850807142016-05-13T13:21:11.180-05:002016-05-13T13:21:11.180-05:00I was quite surprised, although I don't know w...I was quite surprised, although I don't know why. Mockingbirds certainly love the things that jelly is made of like berries and grapes.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-32767949413333586602016-05-13T13:09:24.014-05:002016-05-13T13:09:24.014-05:00Now you know that mockingbirds like jelly. :-)Now you know that mockingbirds like jelly. :-)Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242364668293349799noreply@blogger.com
