Today at the feeder in White Point  I have had a small group of about 6 or 7 
starlings, they cleaned up the winter display that went up yesterday, 3 blue 
jays, a sparrow, possibly a chipping sparrow, and numerous chickadees at the 
feeders. One Mourning Dove stayed for a time but was chased away by two 
runaway (White Point) bunnies licking up the ground seed, and a  squirrel.
The oriole (general consensus seems to be this is a Baltimore oriole) is 
still here, feeding on grapes in the snow. This must be the third week.
I am thinking potential food source if it stays. I have some apples, and 
some grapes in the freezer. I see they will eat corn and some 
squash...anyone else managed to feed them this, as well as oranges and such. 
Last year the one moved inside a feeder through a hole chewed buy a squirrel 
and stayed there for several days to avoid wind and snow. It was a black oil 
sunflower feeder and it had no objections I could see with the chickadees 
stopping to get their fill. Maybe I will make a feeder, a cave type and have 
a hook to put things on for it to try when the weather gets really nasty 
again.
