This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_AxPlDJgKTbuQ02Ic8IG7Bg) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT ----- Original Message ----- From: Hans Toom To: NS-RBA Sent: Thursday, December 15, 2011 7:45 AM Subject: Baltimore Orioles, Northern Mockingbird and many other yard birds! My population of Baltimore Orioles increased to five late last week. I was busy in his workshop building yet another winter bird feeder specifically designed for orioles. I'll have trays of lard/raisin/peanut butter suet, grape jelly, meal worms and grapes. I'm planning to use one of those chemical pocket warmers to keep the meal worms from freezing but better ideas are appreciated, but privately please. The Northern Mockingbird is also a daily regular and has checked out the oriole feeder. Interestingly there has been no hostility between the mockingbird and the orioles. The over-wintering bird population at our place has been building in recent days. It's up to 21 species and perhaps 300-400 individual birds, not including the starlings that show up in the hundreds from time to time.
