I've been wondering whether the orioles might have forsaken us this spring, but they've finally arrived. They perch at the tops of the tall sycamores and oaks along the creek singing their distinctive mating call and moving away whenever I try to get closer, so it's hard to get a good photo. Still, it makes me happy just to know they're here.

Gorgeous!
Have you tried sticking a half orange where you think they're likely to find it and be relatively easy to see? It's the only way I see orioles at home, and I've seen Baltimore and Orchard orioles, both. (And house finches and cardinals seem happy about the orange, too.)
I saw my first orchard oriole in my yard today :) (The baltimores have been around a week or two that I've seen.)
