Oh, the Excitement!


While I was finishing up in the meadow today I suddenly spied a Scott's oriole over by the house! They are back! Or she is back, anyway. I did not see the mister, but we hope that we will wake up tomorrow morning to their song. The kettle is on now; soon I will make sugar water, then fill and put out their feeder.


Also, while I made this and the previous post, two hummingbirds came to their feeder on the porch. It seems that not all of them actually leave for the winter, so we always leave their feeder up all year; but these are the first I have seen for perhaps a couple of months.
