I am sorry to have this rant, I might not even post this.. I most likely will and I am sure I will lose a reader or two.. but I have to write this.. If you live in an apartment or a tiny condo in the city, you can be many things.. You can be […]
Ok, its just going on record that we are going to be “in just in time mode” on most things this year. Let me give a example.. we have pulled at least a hundred or two wild parsnips but then we needed to focus on this or that.. and suddenly this week, we are like.. […]
Just another Day on the Farm 
Oh, isn’t he gorgeous?!! Good job of getting him to sit still long enough to get these!
Did he scold you while you were there? (They’re such a saucy bird: ) LOVE Orioles, thanks for sharing!!
He is so pretty! I have never had one come to the farm before, so felt really blessed to not just see and watch him but to get his photo 🙂
Nope, no scolding..
Well, hopefully “he” has a “she” and they’re moving in, not just passing by. Funny though, I was just listening to “our” chatty fellow in the back hedgerow yesterday (and I’m pretty sure I caught a glimpse of him bouncing around in the cherry tree the other day too (for such a colourful fellow, he can be quite sneaky; ) Good luck with future sightings – and be sure to keep your ears open – as he’s sure to make you smile: )
as lovely as they are, hope they just pass by, my farm cats are really hard on the yard birds and their wee ones, but I need them to keep the mice, moles and rats down..
Trust me, Orioles are NOT like Robins. There was nesting pair at the Farm every year when I was a kid and although he chattered and sang high in the maple canopy daily, I always considered myself lucky to catch even a glimpse of the adults, but never once did I see a fledgling – ever.
They ARE secretive enough to be your neighbour without your knowledge and, when the leaves drop, only then will you finally be able to see their amazing suspended nest.
