orioles

[Barbara Whipple <barbara@whipple.org>]

My mother, who lives in Lindon, has had a pair of Bullock's orioles 
using her hummingbird feeder for a couple of  years. Her feeder is the 
type that has bee guards, and one of them fell off.  The orioles balance 
themselves on one bee guard and drink out of the opening that is missing 
the bee guard. This year, the house finches are copying the orioles and 
drinking the syrup out of the hummingbird feeder, too.  I live in south 
Orem and I have only seen an oriole in my yard once, and that was a few 
years ago.
