["Raincrow" <raincrow@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had a Baltimore Oriole, too, a male feeding in my pines this afternoon. This 
is a new yard bird for me, and splendid in feather and song he was --- what a 
color, and a new voice in my woods!! Watched my Summer tanagers courting while 
the Carolina wrens played chess with the Blue jays, who want a shot at the 3 
wren babies nesting in the winch post of my boat trailer. The wrens are 
tireless foragers who brought a steady stream of fat bugs to the babies all 
afternoon. A beautiful afternoon for sitting outside with binoculars and a 
brace of fat old sleepy cats who couldn't care less about spring migration.
Happy bird days to you.

After seeing a single male Baltimore Oriole at my hummingbird feeder 
on Monday last week, I put out several oranges to see what might 
happen. My first male Oriole appeared the following day. By 
Saturday, May 5 I had a dozen orange halves placed on several trees 
in my yard; highest count on Saturday was 22 Orioles at one time.

That makes 21 more Baltimore Orioles than I have ever before seen in 
my yard at one time!
