My friends in Liverpool on Zwicker Ave have a Red bellied woodpecker hanging out there again, visiting regularly now for a time and while I was visiting we were just gazing out the window and we saw three orioles. Drunk as lords they were, feasting on Hawthorn berries, having a fine time. Oh and a white Breasted nuthatch who is a regular there as well. Now over the past few days there have been a number of Blue jays and chickadees working my grapevine feeders along with both downy and hairy woodpeckers but yesterday and today, I noticed something flying away quickly and am pretty sure it was orioles both times. We have also had a good sized group of waxwings (more than a dozen) flying above the property. I can't tell which, too far way, but I expect they will swing in soon and hit the Hawthorne trees. Maybe the same group cleaned up the ones in the front yard the other day. Starlings are massing down by the golf course on the wires. I hope they stay away. Lots of mourning doves are still about, more than 30 this am, but the neighbourhood cats are doing damage to them. They do come whether we feed them or not, they always have, so there isn't anything I can do. We seem to have a robin hanging around but not in our yard although it did go to the ground where we used to feed the one that stayed for a couple years. Maybe coincidence, maybe not. It spent most of the stormy day there. I'm not sure with the problem of the cats if we will continue to feed them back there Marg Millard, White Point, Queens
