Hi, Nancy!
The orioles usually arrive in our yard in Chester during the last week of April and/or first week of May.
A good way to know if they're around is to listen for their sounds - you can sample clips here:https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Baltimore_Oriole/sounds - I usually wait until I hear the orioles in our neighborhood before putting out oranges, so the fruit doesn't go unused. (Although other birds, like red-bellied woodpeckers, also appreciate them.)
🙂

Thank you so much for all the information you and this site provide. This is my first-time writing. Could you tell me if orioles have arrived in Connecticut. I live in Old Saybrook and am eager for a visit to my new oriole feeder.
Many thanks, Nancy D'Oench
