I know I'm jumping the gun but I'll be ready whenever they decide to arrive. Here's my new hummingbird/oriole feeding station in the back yard. By looking back at last years blog posts I know that I saw my first hummingbird on April 26th and my first oriole around the first of May. I'm not worried about my hummingbirds returning, they are always here every year. But being last year was my first year ever for orioles I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they return again this year. I'll just cry if they don't.
And look what's here waiting for those beautiful orioles! My brother-in-law Jon gave this to me for Christmas. It holds jelly, nectar and an orange.

That last feeder is really cool. I didn't know orioles liked oranges.
I guess our birds will be leaving us soon to come visit you.
I will miss the mockingbirds singing in the morning.
Wow, you have quite a set up there. I hope you get lots of hungry diners.
Gosh Jessica, If the Orioles don't come to that feeder, I will... Got a nice piece of toast for me???? ha ha
I need to start thinking about getting my hummingbird feeders out soon. I'm sure they will be here before too long.
Hugs,
Betsy
With a spread like that,the birds would be foolish not to come to your house.

I'm having feeder envy right now! You have a fabulous set up!! I can't wait until your hummingbirds and orioles arrive! Has your dad seen any bluebirds yet??
P.S. What's the name of that nature center you go to quite a bit - begins with an "S".
I think you will get their attention!
I'm ready too, well, not like you. :)
Thanks for your nice comments on my hummingbirds from Arizona.
The earliest we ever had one come was April 26th too. I always remember the date, because that's my sisters B-day.
Have fun!
How's the mouse situation?
How could the NOT come to your smorgasbord? Good luck!
A good way to determine when to expect the hummingbirds in your particular area is to find out the average date when the hummingbirds are known to arrive in your area. This is not an exact method, but it will give you some idea as to when the birds will arrive.

I'm going to start watching for ours too! They've been reported in Cincinnati, but I've not seen any yet. I hope you get your orioles. Maybe I'll try one of the oriole feeding stations like you have. We've never had one yet!! Good luck!
