Orioles that I've had overwinter in the past have typically begun to = leave by mid--March (about 1 in 3 of those that have overwintered), = while the rest have stayed to the last week of April. This year, perhaps because the 7 I've had for the winter constitute a = more comfortable-sized flock, none has left to this point. Every = morning I expect to find one or more gone, but every morning all 7 have = shown up for the day's mealworms. My goals are to provide the best support possible for as long as they = need it, and to set them up in good condition for migration and a = possible period of deprivation when they leave. So mealworms, peanut = butter suet, grapes and grape jelly continue to be on offer here.
