The Oriole Ranch

The month of May brings the return of our Baltimore Orioles.  And arrived right on time on May 3rd.  This was accompanied by the return of the Orchard Orioles and followed by the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds,  Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Catbirds and Indigo Buntings.

A trail camera was cannibalized from the woods and mounted on a porch post with a clear view of the feeder.  I call it the oriole cam.  Triggered by motion it captures images of birds visiting the feeder without the presence of a human. 

Here are some recent photos...
