Since 1/1/11 I have been describing what I see in the back yard. I occasionally digress.

Oriole
I saw a male oriole eating jelly at breakfast, but I don't know if it wintered here or was just passing through. I only got pictures of its rear, unfortunately. A Carolina wren didn't find much in the glass dish. A bluebird did better at the seed feeder. A pine warbler came for suet. A mockingbird helped itself to suet at lunch. A myrtle warbler visited the jelly. A brown headed nuthatch came for seeds. White throated sparrows ate at feeders and under them. Later in the afternoon, a junco appeared. Perhaps it was migrating North? The feeder perch gave the bluebirds some trouble by twisting underfoot. They looked like logrolling lumberjacks. A blue jay drank from the pool puddle. A starling tried to get some suet. The mockingbird switched to jelly.
