Bird Season Upon Us

Every March the birds come back or come through my yard. Historically the Baltimore Oriel will make a stop on it's migration northward. We put a sliced orange on a post and wait for our friends to arrive. The Oriels are attracted to the color and nectar. We might also lure a few of their cousins; the blue indigo bunting, the hummingbird, and the blue bird are a few. This year I expect a later migration. They will stay through June if we provide the right environment.
