Re: [cayugabirds-l] B. Orioles in Trumbull Corners - SUET!

[Anne Stork]

I have orioles eating at my suet feeder this spring too. On an odder note- 
Sunday morning - when my feeders were empty- an oriole came to my second floor 
window and just pushed its chest into my window. It was quite something to have 
such a close up view of his bright orange chest. It then flew away. I had a 
strong feeling that this was a message to come down and fill the feeder with 
more suet. Within a half hour of filling the feeders the oriole was back 
feeding on the suet.

Hi Cayugabirders,

I think it's very interesting how people are reporting orioles eating suet this 
spring. Maybe this has been reported in previous years, but I don't recall so. 
I'm wondering whether this change in diet is because so few of the flowering 
trees are out (at least where I live and in the Cornell Plantations Arboretum 
where I spend a lot of time). So the orioles are having a hard time finding 
enough food (they like to sip nectar from tree flowers) . BTW, many of the 
crabapples in the Arboretum were nailed by the super-cold snap a few weeks 
back...I've been looking closely...there are few viable flower buds on many of 
them, and leaves just struggling to come out now. The trees up here seem 
awfully bare for mid-May.

This morning my lone male Baltimore Oriole was joined by two others, plus two 
females. They love the suet.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Redpolls!

[Anne Stork]

3 Common Redpolls at our Niger feeder in Danby right now. We have had single 
redpolls with goldfinch the past several weeks- but this is the first visit 
with multiple redpolls and no goldfinch.
