Re: [cayugabirds-l] Orioles
We had 3 or 4 Orioles at our feeders yesterday. They were enjoying the hummingbird feeders and devoured an orange. Hope they are still here today! Also, had hummingbirds on the 10th.

Orioles do consume nectar. That's probably what they're after.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Orioles
Late this morning Reuben & I met and birded around Treman Marina, and again there were both species of oriole singing. We saw a male BALTIMORE ORIOLE where the grass path makes a 90° left turn as you walk out toward the lake. After Reuben had to leave I saw a singing male ORCHARD ORIOLE in the top of the northwestern-most Cottonwoods in the Hog Hole swamp. In the tops of tall Willows and Cottonwoods in a couple parts of the park were also BLACK-AND-WHITE, YELLOW, PALM, and YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS, RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS, and BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHERS. It was challenging to scope tiny birds among the Cottonwood flowers so high, but this is just the beginning of warblering. Only the Willows have any leaves yet. Also of note: * One OSPREY is apparently incubating on the platform nest in the middle of the field while a second perched above; * An adult BALD EAGLE perched overlooking the Inlet; * A male and female NORTHERN FLICKER stood in the grass facing each other with bills held high. They danced slightly from side to side so as to see and be seen extremely well with each eye. My SFO group saw similar behavior at Long Point SP on Saturday between 2 males, an encounter which eventually ended in aerial combat and a chase. --Dave Nutter > On Apr 25, 2017, at 12:11 AM, Dave Nutterwrote: > > Reuben Stoltzfus found both BALTIMORE & ORCHARD ORIOLE at Allan H Treman > State Marine Park on Monday morning, 24 April. > --Dave Nutter > -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Orioles
Hi Cayuga birders, It is known that some of the species of birds do not feed on sucrose that is regular sugar and they can't digest those sugars. So all of them are not sugar lowers. I have list of species that don't like sugar. I will dig it and post it sometimes. So the waxwings feed on fruits of crab apple and crab apple has very minute amount of sucrose, most of it is sorbitol an alcohol of the sugar called polyols and glucose, fructose and other hexoses and pentoses like xylose etc. Robin is one of them who does not like sucrose at least according to the paper. More later.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] orioles
Re. birds eating petals, I have seen Northern Cardinals and House Finches do this too. Red-winged Blackbirds have been feeding in my apple tree in addition to the Baltimore Orioles. Having watched this behavior in orioles a lot, I'm convinced that the orioles are probing for insects as much as they are going for nectar. I have photos of them capturing small larvae and also using their bills in a starling-like manner (they push bill in closed, then open it, like starlings do when they probe into the grass) to reach into the blossom. I think the redwings are doing the same. About the other species? I don't know. Maybe eating the petals is merely a by product of nabbing some little insect or other? Here are some photos from last spring of a feeding oriole, some showing the bill in action: http://www.marieread.com/cpg/thumbnails.php?album=searchtype=fullsearch=baltimore+oriole+apple Marie Marie Read Wildlife Photography 452 Ringwood Road Freeville NY 13068 USA Phone 607-539-6608 e-mail m...@cornell.edu http://www.marieread.com http://www.agpix.com/mari From: bounce-5730271-5851...@list.cornell.edu [bounce-5730271-5851...@list.cornell.edu] On Behalf Of Susan Fast [sustf...@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2010 8:56 PM To: 'Barrs'; CayuGABIRDS-L@cornell.edu Subject: RE: [cayugabirds-l] orioles We have a pair of RED-WINGED BLACKBIRDS and 2 TUFTED TITMICE eating our apple and wild cherry blossoms.
