The First Oriole of 2009 & Better Towhee Pictures!

May 3, 2009 by Elizabeth

So, we put out the grape jelly on Saturday in a small dish.  Then, on Sunday we had our first visitor! I cannot locate the Oriole Nectar Feeder, apparently I might have thrown it out because it was kind of dirty after last season.  I could only photograph this bird  through the glass door, so the picture is a little weird.

Also, the Eastern Towhee was back again on Sunday!  We were outside and he was right in the feeder area, so we were able to get some much better pictures!  Enjoy!

So, get out there and start enjoying your bird feeders! It is a great season for birdwatching. I’m hoping to get some good looks at the young birds that are around this spring.
