I recently connected with a good friend of mine who I "ran around with" from junior-high through high school. She lives in Missouri and mentioned how she was enjoying the Baltimore orioles in her yard. I asked her how she attracted them, and she told me to just put half an orange on the bird feeder and "they will come!"
So I put the orange out on Monday afternoon. Yesterday morning about 11:30 I looked up and there was a Bullock oriole working his way through that orange! I was thrilled! I got out my camera and started taking pictures. Here's a photo I took this morning. Notice that he has already eaten almost all of the orange -- he comes frequently and has to perform some interesting acrobatics to get his beak down in there, but that does not seem to deter him.
I love watching wildlife -- more photos to come.
