Mom has had a few orioles this year but they are nesting now. She uses grape jelly in her feeders for them. One year she had 15 of them!

Oh it was crazy she has never seen so many at once. Her boss is a big bird person and she said in about a month they will be bringing their babies to the feeders to eat.

Mom is kind of worried about putting out jellies. We may have a bunch of bees or ants instead.

Mom heard mockingbirds singing in the Spring, but she hasn't heard them again. They must have been passing through. She loves mockingbirds.

Years ago, when I was still around, a flock of cedar waxwings landed in our cedar tree to eat the berries. There were about 100 of them. They are beautiful birds, their feathers blend together and look so soft. They stayed for just a little while, then flew away.
