We saw a Baltimore Oriole in our back yard while we were eating lunch today. It was at the bird feeder when Elaine first spotted it. It didn't stay there very long before flying first to the Blue Spruce tree and then over on the ground near the Flowering Quince bush. It soon flew away. We used to see them in the shelterbelt out at the farm but don't see them here very often. We understand they like Grape Jelly so will get some and put it out. Our morning Coffee Group discusses birds to some extent nearly every morning so I will have something to report tomorrow. One of the fellows in the group lives out in the country where he has established excellent bird habitat. He reported this morning that he has seen 49 species so far this year. I haven't kept track but doubt that I could list over 15 that I have identified in our back yard. I did load up the old Red Ryder today to scare off the stray cats so that may help.
