The one Oriole who came to our backyard here in Montgomery County was so beautiful we named him Elvis. Like the King, he was with us all too short a time. Next year I will have my oranges ready. (Do you think he might eat fried peanut-butter sandwiches?)

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.

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!
