Another Oriole at the jelly! I have a small amount of Grape Jelly in a glass bowl, hanging. Seems the Orioles LOVE it.
Although, he's not a fan of the paparazzi! The guy was perfect for The Color Challenge - Tuesday Orange - Photo Challenge started by @kalemandra. #colorchallenge #photocontests

You must be from the east, we get Bullock's Orioles in the west. Your Baltimore Oriole, and our Bullock's Oriole were considered two species, then lumped together as Northern Oriole, but again now are considered two separate species. We listers obviously prefer them as separate species.
Bullock's Oriole, note the lack of the black hood and the wider white wing bar. To me they just look plenty different to be separate species despite the hybrid overlap zone.

I figured. Good place to bird. I grew up in New England and am going to Mt. Washington in the AM tomorrow to try for Bicknell's Thrush, a lifer for me if I get it.

Do those birds specifically eat oranges? Can I give pigeons oranges?

Thanks!
I know what you mean about the jelly.
Do you ever cut orange halves for them?

I do, but they don't pay much attention to the oranges! It's all about the jelly.

I never knew jelly attracted some species of birds -- interesting fact! @bluefinstudios The Oriole looks as though it is hot with its beak open. Excellent, colorful photograph!
