[nysbirds-l] no birds but Nymphalid at my oriole feeder

Well I haven't gotten any birds at my fruit feeder yet, but amazingly did get a fresh Question Mark who is still there.  That's the first butterfly I've ever had at a feeder whether intentionally or unintentionally.  Pretty cool, hope more come.  I do hope the oriole and catbirds don't pick it
