Like Gayle MacLean with her Orange-crowned Warbler, I had expected more departures amongst the Baltimore Orioles in my back yard by now because of the mild weather. Two of the 9 departed in the warm weather in late March, and another two in early April. But two have also returned, so I'm still seeing 7 every day and still going through about 800 mealworms a week. Despite some mild days, there still don't seem to be many insects available, of the types that orioles feed on. The 4 male orioles are moulting into their sub-adult plumage - getting black hoods, which look pretty scruffy now but allow me to tell the males apart. They're also singing quite a bit, wonderful to hear. Cheers, Susann Myers --Boundary_(ID_Md4j5VNYhPGW55F3siHf2A) Content-type: text/html; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.6000.17023" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings, all.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Like Gayle MacLean with her Orange-crowned Warbler, I had expected more departures amongst the Baltimore Orioles in my back yard by now because of the mild weather.
