First Oriole
Comments (1)My neighbor saw one Saturday, May 1st. Right on schedule according to bird watchers in our area. We have big mulberry trees in our backyard and the orioles stay all summer. DH bought me an oriole feeder that has two pegs for orange halves and a cup in the center for grape jelly. I have a feeder for sugar water - keeps them from banging the hummingbird feeders around. I also put orange halves on nails on the top of our fence posts. Love to listen to them sing! Cricket...See Moreoriole migration
Comments (0)Does anyone know when orioles might arrive in the Oklahoma area? I believe they are Baltimore orioles....See MoreBaltimore Orioles
Comments (4)Aren't they fun to watch? I'm not surprised by the behavior. I would be willing to bet that the Oriole was a male, and that he was seeing his reflection in the window glass. I have a male Bluebird right now who goes from window to window in my house. He just lands upon the screens or the ledges outside and looks in. He never attacks the window which is also interesting to me. I've heard people tell of birds that they believed came to their windows to signal a request for food. :o)...See MoreConfessions of a Hoyaholic... cuttings from Thailand have arrived
Comments (51)Bill and Colin, The day before yesterday it was 76 degrees and I had a few Hoya hanging outside. It felt sooo good to hose them down and watch the dabbled sunrays shine on them. That night a front went through, thunder and it dropped to 29 degrees by the am. Thank GOD I remembered to bring them inside and all the other 30 pots at 4 a.m. in my p.j's... Crazy weather. I feel your pain. It's pretty tiring to bring them in and out rather than just watch them grow in warmth and sunshine( Bill, do you live in New England? It sounds like you are getting the same weather as I. Today it's only 45 with snow flurries and yesterday was 76... Strange. I even had to cover my in gerund plants that would of been killed by the frozen ground until the 40 mile an hour winds blew the frost cloth off...Ugh...See Moretmc2009
