Orioles back at jelly feeders more now, & a few are fighting over my 2 separate dishes, even tho there is enough room for two at each hanging dish! :-)
Meanwhile, fledged Oriole babies seen, including one in road in 600 block. I picked it up & put it in a clear area well off road, back of tall weeds. Parents were calling above me , so I hope they can feed it till it can fly. Baby was feisty & calling squeakily, too! They often build nests on branches hanging over roads! Surprised I don’t see more fledges in road. Sarah B showed me a fledged, flying baby Oriole in her yard. Nest is right out from Sarah’s 2nd story back deck. Both these babies had yet to grow long tail feathers.
