The vanguard of orioles, rose-breasted grosbeaks, and ruby-throated
hummingbirds has already arrived to southern and some parts of central
Wisconsin, right on an average schedule. Of course, numbers in this initial
wave are relatively low so many observers have yet to detect one, especially
with hummingbirds, which often lag behind the former two species by a few days
. But if you're interested in attracting these species to your yard, now is the
time to put out the sunflower seeds, jelly, orange halves, nectar, etc. Birders
up north like me have another week to wait barring an extended stretch of
southerly winds before then.
You can track the migration progress of all species on eBird. Here's the map
for Baltimore Oriole. Simply type in a new species at upper left to explore
your favorite birds.

Subject: [wisb] Re: Anticipating Orioles
Slowly and without panic, I have been storing up on grape jelly for weeks now.
I haven’t been to the store, but my friends who have been have all been
instructed to bring me grape jelly. I have 14 jars of store bought and more of
my own
homemade jelly ready for the new arrivals. Can’t wait for that first morning
when I look out and see a Rose-breasted Grosbeak on my feeder and walk out and
hear the Oriole singing, asking me to fill my jelly feeders. I am so ready! I
sort of expect it early
this year. Bring on the migration!

I’ve not been out to the grocery store in weeks. I guess I need to get out
there: our first (Baltimore) oriole showed up this morning here in south
central Iowa County. It was content with the peanut feeders, but I did
immediately put up a nectar feeder.

Our Piggly Wiggly here in Omro stocks up too. They just set cases of the
grape jelly in the aisle!

As I was walking through our local Piggly Wiggly today picking up a few
items, I came upon a stack of cases of grape jelly, 2 lb jars, store brand.
I immediately though Orioles! They always show up in our yard, between
about this date and May 2nd, peering into empty jelly feeders. I have to
compliment “The Pig” for either a manager or their computer knowing this
fact and being prepared. There was another stack in another isle. I bought
2 jars to get started.
