Spring migrants or overwintering?
On Sunday, feb 12, we had 3 Baltimore Orioles visit our hot pepper suet feeder.
One male and 2 immature birds which we could not sex. We only saw the male on
Sun and Monday but the 2 immature birds have come to the suet feeder multiple
times each day and yesterday we discovered there is a third immature Baltimore.
The plumage on the immature birds is distinctive enough to tell them apart. We
put out some oranges but so far they are not interested. It's February--what
are these birds doing here?
