Feeding the Birds
#2241
According to https://nestwatch.org/connect/news/i...act-clarified/, "It’s illegal to move a nest just because it’s inconvenient to you." There are exceptions and this doesn't apply to non-native species (House Sparrows, European Starlings, and Rock Pigeons).

I'm giving up on the Baltimore Orioles. The birds that is. I have used about 1/2 jar of grape jelly with no takers. On the plus side, I put some seed in the hanging feeder/bowl that I used for jelly and the cardinals and other birds are enjoying

Our Orioles have been gone for a few weeks now. We have a lot of Grosbeaks this year.

So I stopped putting out oranges, used the jelly feeder for a little seed and guess what showed up at the humming bird feeder this AM? Yep, the Baltimore Oriole.

And the Oriole was back again. So I put the jelly back out and this time I put it near the hummingbird feeder which is where he's been seen. Stay tuned for more reports.

The Oriole visit about four times a day. We see the Catbirds more often!

We have several cat birds. I hear they will eat the jelly, but they haven't been interested.

The Baltimore Orioles have visited again. I had put out the mandarin oranges for them, but the chipmunks got to them first. I felt bad that the Oriole showed up and nothing was out there. So I ordered the nectar feeder for the Orioles. We'll see if they show up for that.
