The colorful Baltimore Orioles that we look so forward to seeing every spring have all pretty much migrated the past few days. I can always tell when they are getting ready to go as they eat like there’s no tomorrow right before they leave.
Last week I was going through almost a whole jar of grape jelly every day. There were a lot of hungry Baltimore Orioles and their young ones getting ready for a long trip!
This beauty came by right before they left on Monday and he was one of the brightest orange Baltimore Orioles that I have ever seen. He is just stunning, don’t you think?
Good-bye until next spring… we will certainly miss you and all of your constant chattering and activity over the winter!

To hear an Oriole sing
May be a common thing
Or only a divine…

Until next year!
