Subject: A few oriole comments, Koch property, Northampton County
I don't intend to comment on this anymore after this, but I'd like to say a few words because it's so weird seeing an oriole in the snow. I first saw it when my husband told me to come look at a bird with yellow on it, and frankly I was hoping to see an evening grosbeak. But I was taken aback to see an oriole, which is actually more orange than yellow, at the peanut butter mixture before it went to a seed feeder. But this is its third day here, and today and yesterday it was in the front, not the back, yard feeding on an oriole feeder I put out in early December just to remind me that spring will indeed come in 3 or 4 months. I never expected to see an oriole eating frozen grape jelly in January.  But it's also going to suet cakes, where it really stands out. Guess you just never know.  And with the really cold weather that's predicted I have no idea how long it'll stick around.
