theshadow Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 I've got a couple of female orioles at my suet feeders and one hanging out on a wooden feeder.Anyone else seeing these around?? Oh! no males so far. Steel Pulse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phishallways Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Few hundred miles south of you and haven’t seen an oriole since September 6th. My suet and other feeders are very busy , but no orioles back yet. Had three families on the deck all day last year until then. I'll ignore your cheap aroma, and your little-bo-peep diploma, I'll just put you in a coma, with some dirty love- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikez2 Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 One guy in the eastern Ma bird group has been posting pics of a pair that he's had coming all winter. Not sure where but I think south shore. I'd say it's pretty unusual. Tfole and theshadow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it might be a warbler but nope the pointed beak tipped me off.Put out some meal worms this afternoon so with the impending weather here tomorrow it will be interesting to see what shows up.Bluebirds seem to show when it's snowing too.

Plug and teaser Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Pretty unusual , but always a few along the coast. E-bird shows them up through Nova Scotia, and even one on the other side of the Gulf of St. Lawrence in Quebec this year. Not many though. Here's a shot of the e-bird map for Baltimore Oriole's in Mass. this year. Many not reported of course, but these are the ones people saw who make a point of looking. Nice find theshadow and mikez2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angler #1 Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Have not seen any Oriole at my suit feeder, but plenty of different wood peckers and other larger and smaller birds .

Two bluebirds showed up just like clockwork in the snow and the oriole was back too.The meal worms,orange,and the suet took a beating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyO Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 From Walmart..you can just screw a jelly bottle right on. Easier than refilling plastic one it comes with. Had a different one first, they didn't like it. Came right to this one. Catbird loved it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
