Re: [cayugabirds-l] Suet Feasting

We noticed our Orioles coming into the orange suet this year, as well.
Normally, they only care about the oranges and the jellies.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] oriole

2018-05-16 Thread Marie P. Read
Both male and female Baltimore Orioles can be pretty variable in coloration. 
I've watched many orioles, and I've seen yellow-looking males, and at the other 
extreme, I've seen quite male-like females. There is currently a pair nesting 
in the Newman Arboretum of which the female is very orange, dark-headed and 
confusingly male-like (yes, I've seen the male of the pair and he is even 
brighter!). In my experience the comparative blackness of the head (male) and 
presence of brownish coloration on the head and back (female) are good ways to 
tell them apart conclusively.

Enjoy these gorgeous birds!

We have our first oriole, a very pale, almost yellow male - it has a black hood 
but otherwise looks more like a female. I haven't seen this pale color in an 
oriole before.

[cayugabirds-l] Rose-breasted grosbeak/indigo bunting behavior

2018-05-16 Thread Michele Emerick Brown
I live in Caroline.  A friend was helping me with some gardening a few days ago 
and she observed what appeared to be an altercation between a rose-breasted 
grosbeak and an indigo bunting near some lilacs. Then, we found what looks to 
be a dead female indigo bunting on the ground.

Any ideas about what might have been going on? Would they be competing for 
territory? I'm guessing the death occurred from a window strike.

Thanks,
Michele
