*This morning at 6:30 am., I saw our first backyard male Baltimore Oriole five years. It was competing for suet with a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak, of which I’ve had a small flock for several days. I’ve put out lots of string, twine, and grape vine strips for the birds to nest with and hope the oriole nests nearby. Between 15-20 Pine Siskins have also been here for several weeks, intermingling with the flock 60-72+ American Goldfinch. (I usually have a goldfinch for every available nyjer seed feeder perch.)*
