Thanks for the alert. I'll have to put some jelly out. I like to see and hear them.

It looks cold and I'll bet it is. I think it is a good picture. You girls and your zoom lenses capture neat stuff. Last night just about dark there was a hummingbird flying around on my porch. I saw it when I was getting wood. I wonder how this cold weather is affecting the birds.

I am thrilled!! I mean super excited!! I just spotted my first pair of Baltimore orioles today!! My neighbor has has an oriole feeder out for several years but we've never spotted one. Now she is in a nursing home and hasn't had anything in her feeder and NOW they showed up. So I rushed around my house and found some thick copper wire, wrapped it around a small plastic cup, glued a yellow lid to the bottom and filled it with home made oriole sugar water mixture. Crossing my fingers that they come back! I'm going to make another feeder with hooks to stick on some orange wedges. These are such stunning birds. How I spotted them was I was cleaning our sons bedroom and saw them out the window on the tops of my dogwood tree jumping across the tops. They did this for several minutes. I then rushed down to my yard after they flew off to see if they were in my yard but no luck. I sure hope they return. Absolutely STUNNING birds!!

Very nice! Any sign of fledglings? It would be great if you could get a video of the adults teaching the kids to eat jelly. Claire
