Hello birders!
I put out grape jelly (power of suggestion from wisbirdn folks) and today
had 3 orioles fighting over it - Baltimores.
In spring, I also had Orchards. Maybe they will show up next.
Many other species are again visiting the yard as I have presented water,
hulled sunflowers and thistle seed.
Very fun too to see the hummers cruising through the rampant jewelweed in
back of the yard.
I checked the wet field on MN near McFarland for shorebirds about a week
ago and heard a small plover call. Played my CD in the car on the way home
and it certainly sounded like a Piping Plover. I got side-tracked and did
not report it. I did not hear that call when I stopped there yesterday
morning.
