We have a new arrival - a male Baltimore Oriole is at our feeders, and has been eating here for about an hour now!  This is highly unusual for us.  We see them in the yard during spring and fall migration every year, and they have bred here at least 4 years over the last ten years, but we have never had any at our feeders, despite putting out oriole feeders and other temptations (citrus fruit, etc.) - even while they were nesting here.

I also note that the number of finches has more than doubled.  We have about 30 goldfinches and 12 house finches at the feeders now!

Cheers!
