I put out oriole nectar with orange halves. Hummingbirds will also drink oriole nectar, although orioles prefer it along with oranges.  I usually get at least one pair of orioles a year.  The male is orange and back and the female has some yellow and white feathers.

It's interesting, Narnian78, the only thing our orioles enjoy is the grape jelly. I have tried orange slices, but they don't touch them. I find this odd, but each birdie to his own, I guess. Giggle

I heard a wood thrush two days ago in a small wetland preserve close to the town in which I live. June 14 is near the end of the spring migration period so it is rather unusual to hear this bird so close to town. By this time these woodland birds have mostly reached their forested habitat.  They will not usually nest near cities unless there is an enough unfragmented woodland. I’m glad I heard the bird singing before it left the area for better habitat. Birds have been tracked and banded at various locations, and some of the destinations are very unusual.
