Hi there, Yesterday during the Halifax Dartmouth Christmas Bird Count I found a Baltimore Oriole moving with a flock of Black-capped Chickadees on Walton Drive, in the Armdale area. I was interested to see that it was feeding on the small hips of a Multiflora Rose bush. I had not observed orioles eating them before. I always feel rather ambivalent about Multiflora Roses; an invasive, alien species, that can really take over, but at the same time it's a shrub which many species of birds rely on for both food and protective cover. Earlier in the day I checked Susann Myers' feeders on Vienna Street. There were four Baltimore Orioles there at the time. Cheers, Patricia L. Chalmers Halifax
