It's a sock-like nest constructed of spider webs and other woven material.
And it was in reasonably good condition having weathered the seasons since it was last used.
So I hung it on the wall. One more nest to add to the growing collection.
In any event I was wondering if the orioles were ever going to show-up. Both a nectar and grape jelly feeder have been out for a month following a rumor that the orioles and humming birds had returned.
Weeks have past with no sign of either species.
Yesterday a flash of color caught my eye.

Note to self - Don't listen to the rumors...

Yep, I too put out food in April, like a silly person!
ReplyDeleteI've never had those birds arrive in April, and probably never will!
This past week, though, they've all arrived and are eating like crazy!
