Spring birds continue to arrive.<\/p>\n

Along with the year-round residents (chickadees, nuthatches, woodpeckers, etc.) and the early arrivals (goldfinches and purple finches), we have had rose-breasted grosbeaks at the feeders for roughly ten days. The males seemed to appear about four or five days before the females.<\/p>\n

On Saturday (14 May) we observed our first hummingbird of the season (a male; we’ve seen no females yet).<\/p>\n

We also saw a single\u00a0Baltimore oriole on each day of the weekend. We’ve not had orioles around the house before. Hopefully the feeder I bought and hung out this morning will entice them to stay.<\/p>\n

Other folks in the “neighborhood” (the closest about a mile and a half away) have said that they have had indigo buntings at their feeders. Alas, we have not seen any in our yard.<\/p>\n
