The Oriole Ranch

Business in the past week has been picking-up at the oriole feeders.  After a bit of a lull the adults have been returning early morning and again before sundown.

Mama and papa birds have been tending to their young and schedule their own meals at the beginning and end of the day - bookending the tending of their fledglings.

I suspect it won't be long before the juvenile birds begin to show.

From today are some action shots of male and female Baltimore orioles and a red-bellied wood pecker.  

Incidentally - 94 digital photos taken over two hours.....

The Oriole Ranch

The oriole camera went-up a week ago and after some initial glitches it would appear to be operating properly.  

And it ain't just Baltimore orioles that are showing-up.  There is this.....

Patiently waiting on a clear shot of the orchard orioles and a rose-breasted grosbeaks.  And maybe even one of a bazillion goldfinches.

Stay tuned.....
