A few days ago, Peggy mentioned that she had seen orioles at their place. Tom had tossed out some oranges that had gone hard, so I strung a few up and hung them from the feeder. Today I decided to throw them away in nothing happened. Just as Tom was preparing to go out on the deck to grill ribs for dinner, a male oriole showed up and began pecking away at an orange. It stayed for a while. Beautiful bird!We only saw orioles a few times last year, and I don't know if they will be around more this time. But they add a nice change of color to the backyard.
(Sorry, A&M fans, but if you can find a maroon and white bird to visit us, I promise to publicize that, too.)
