That is very exciting! So far I have seen three males and three females. I hope they find a suitable nesting spot. This is only my second year they have come to my feeders. <BR/>The Orioles are very happy with their oranges and grape jelly. <BR/>Having the Orchard Orioles with the Baltimores is nice. I read they migrate together.<BR/>I wish I had put the camera on before I went out to replenish the jelly. I could have snap a photo of the Monarch drifting through the back yard!<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-83828904077830767772008-04-29T21:18:00.000-05:002008-04-29T21:18:00.000-05:00Congrats on the monarch (still early for me to see...Congrats on the monarch (still early for me to see any) and love all your photos! The one with the Rose-breasted Grosbeak is a perfect example of a second year bird (you can see the older feathers that didn't molt)!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-39329738437253467262008-04-29T07:15:00.000-05:002008-04-29T07:15:00.000-05:00Dear Aluajala,Having the Orioles, Grosbeaks and Hu...Dear Aluajala,<BR/>Having the Orioles, Grosbeaks and Hummers come to the backyard is a blessing. The Hummers will stay until October the Orioles and Grosbeaks left my area in early summer last year. <BR/>The Grosbeaks are very new for me. I am just learning about them. They migrate from South America.<BR/>They look very tropical too.<BR/>It is very exciting!<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-8619848621030249052008-04-29T07:07:00.000-05:002008-04-29T07:07:00.000-05:00Dear Mary,The backyard looks so pretty with Oriole...Dear Mary,<BR/>The backyard looks so pretty with Orioles, Grosbeaks and Hummers!<BR/>I love the little sparrows...White-throated is a charmer as is White-crowned. My heart does go to Chipping, I think it is his little hat! I did see Chipping Sparrow has a mate! Hope little Chippers will come to the gardens soon. The little sparrows really like the leaf mold I use as mulch, so does Brown Thrasher! They like to flip it about in search of bugs.<BR/>Keeping the party trays filled takes me most of the day! I stop often and sit with the new arrivals and listen to their travel tales. I was very, very pleased to see the Rose-breasted Grosbeaks.<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-121147812069925742008-04-28T00:42:00.000-05:002008-04-28T00:42:00.000-05:00Dear Sherry, they are sooooo amazing!

Last year they came here in a large flock. I had never seen them before. I was so very happy to see they remembered my backyard. I hope the females come too. I would love to have them abput for a few weeks. <BR/>You have so many different song birds at your feeders. I love seeing your Blue Birds! The Summer Tanagers are beautiful too. <BR/>It takes lots of backyard feeders. The birds have lost so much habitat. It is the least we can do!<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-6880237205531140682008-04-27T09:56:00.000-05:002008-04-27T09:56:00.000-05:00Dear Cathy,They should be at your house soon.

They stay until October while the Grosbeaks only stay for a couple of weeks.<BR/>It is exciting!<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-35340593726176142362008-04-27T09:54:00.000-05:002008-04-27T09:54:00.000-05:00Dear Lisa,I also saw an Orchard Oriole yesterday. ...Dear Lisa,<BR/>I also saw an Orchard Oriole yesterday.
