It's fun to watch their aerial aerobatics when they fight over the feeder! Quite entertaining.

They love Beebalm...Cindy but they also come to our feeder. Too early for them although the orioles suprised me by returning yesterday.

I just do the sugar water thing and they love that. They won't even touch the nectar you buy anymore. We had them nesting here for the last two years, so sugar must be okay.

Last year we watched a baby starting to fly. ou think the adults are tiny - this guy was really itsy bitsy.
