I really loved this post and photos Melinda!! The birds are a joy even though I live in Baltimore and have never seen an Oriole (besides the baseball team)..lol. The critters are cute and made me smile and all of the plants are lovely...btw...I spy that photo-bombing ant on the daffodil. ;)
Thanks! I didn't see that ant until I was posting the picture. Funny how they can hide when you are focusing in with the camera.
Do you have tall trees in your neighborhood? If you do put out a oriole feeder with some grape jelly in the dish and you will get Orioles. I guarantee they will find it!
You are welcome! Yep..I know just what you mean!
Cool to know! I will have to try that..thank you! :)
Squirrels are my biggest problem. I have a couple really great oriole feeders, but I can't use them without the squirrels getting into them and wrecking them. The one I am using now is up in front of the living room window. There are so many right now that they are eating me out of house and home!
The squirrels here like fried chicken so I can just imagine how much they would love some grape jelly..lol. I looked up an Oriole feeder as I have never seen one before. I may have to look into getting one now.
It would certainly be worth a try! If they are anywhere near they will find it!
