first year that the Orioles have shown any interest in orange slices that we 
leave for them.  The previous two years they have routinely fed on the suet 
(which they are doing this year as well).  However, they are going through the 
orange slices at a rapid rate.  Interestingly, we moved here from eastern

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

We also had orioles at our suet feeders, which I don't recall occurring in the 
past.  I've put out orange halves in years past, but never saw an oriole come 
to them.

Put up the hummingbird feeder last week, and hung it where a tube feeder with 
sunflower seed had been all winter.  The next morning there were 6 or 8 very 
confused goldfinches and house finches hanging out around that feeder.  Hummers 
showed up the next day.

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

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

2016-05-10 Thread 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.

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

Interesting observation, Marie. I have a pair of orioles coming to my suet 
right now, and I have never experienced that before.

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.
