This is the 3rd year for the orioles return to my yard. They
made three nests in my cottonwood trees. The nests are very sturdy and survived all the winter weather here. Didn't mark
my calendar from last year, but knew it was about time for their
return. Have one and know he is a returnee because he loves to
look at himself. This must be a trait, very interesting. Have
an old silver gazing ball in my yard and last year, he spent
hours looking at himself in that ball, too funny!! This year
when he returned, saw him looking in the back window of our truck the same way. They usually come to my hummingbird feeders
first. So far I have one male and one female here.
