I like to see oriole birds..their distinct color makes them attractive. @bob414 beautiful pic of oriole bird you have share here.

The only reason I guessed young orchard oriole is because when I looked in my Peterson book, the young orchard oriole seemed to be the only one with that dark area under it's beak.

Glad you have new birds. I am in the east an have Baltimore Orioles, Grosbeaks and Hummers and love them all. One thing I'd like to tell you that you may not be aware of is that nine days is a very long time to leave a nectar feeder filled. They need to be cleaned a minimum of once a week in cool weather to every couple of days in hot weather. Black mold and fungus' form easy in the sugar water which is not good for the birds. Hummers can contract bill rot from dirty feeders and it is fatal for them. Wash them out is hot soapy water with a toothbrush and refill. Yes the same birds will return nest year if they like it there. In my yard they feed really heavy now but much less when the wild berries and friuts come out until right before migration. Happy birding. Cathy

i get the bullocks orioles here instead of the Baltimores but their habits are the same. the males start arriveing last week in april and the females about a week later. they go thru their mating and pair off and start nesting by mid may. to start with both males and females are at the feeders often and eat a lot of jelly and fruit and necter. but as the go off to nest the males and females take turns coming to eat 3 or 4 times a day. by then there are lots of insects and i see them on my garden and flowers catching bugs and insects and grashoppers ect. as soon as the young fledge they start bringing them to the feeders and the young ones eat often covering the feeders. by mid july the males have started leaving and they disappear for the year but the females and their young stay around till mid august to late august and they leave out to head south.
