[va-bird] Orchard Oriole

I have a male orchard oriole visiting my hummer feeder on a regular basis.  The 
feeder is an upright type, with four feeding stations and perches by each 
station.

The oriole, or a relative, was here in the past.  As a result, I modified the 
hummer feeder to accommodate the oriole.  On one of the stations, I removed the 
"flower" and drilled the access hole slightly larger.  I offset the perches 
from directly in front of the holes to give the oriole more space to stretch 
out when feeding.

I have not seen a female Orchard Oriole, though I suspect one is about.  Good 
birding......Tom
