FreeLists / tn-bird / [TN-Bird] orioles still plentiful, and yes, I had rosebreasted grosbeaks too...

[Joan C Reese/SPEC/PS/EXT/UTIA <jreese5@xxxxxxx>]

Yesterday, Here on Island Road in Chester County I had two male
rosebreasted grosbeaks and one female at my feeders. They are not here
today as best I can tell. However, the Baltimore orioles are hanging in
there and I've seen three females now along with the four males. The
orioles go through oranges like kids eating chocolate. I put out some grape
jelly and as though they had been waiing, they dove on it.

I'm hoping for a nesting pair, but there are no really big trees until you
go across the field out back. Every nest I've seen was in a very tall tree.
The tallest trees in the woods across the field are still mostly leafless.
We will see....
