Index of Subjects Hi, Ian. I know of one Baltimore Oriole that made it through the winter in Louisbourg, in the yard of my former house on Upper Warren Street. The new owner, Peter Chiasson, was unfamiliar with feeding techniques involving grapes, oranges, hulled sunflower seeds and chopped nutmeats, grape jelly, soft suet mixes etc. etc. He got this oriole through the winter amazingly on sugar syrup, returning home with great dedication every four hours to replenish the supply of unfrozen syrup. There are numerous other feeders in the neighbourhood, however, where it might have been finding other fare. The oriole arrived in November and was still alive and well on March 20th, when I spoke with Peter. I'll check on a last-seen date for you. Cheers, Susann ----- Original Message ----- From: <iamclar@dal.ca> To: "NatureNS" <naturens@chebucto.ns.ca> Sent: Monday, April 07, 2008 2:30 PM Subject: [NatureNS] Wintering orioles in Nova Scotia, 2007-08 > All: > > Reports on wintering orioles petered out by early Feb., although I know > that > some survived winter.
