Title: What kind of bird II
Post by: boneaddict on May 11, 2008, 07:23:23 AM: My house is turning into a bird paradise, other than english sparrows and starlings anyway. This is my new friend. I assume its an Oriole but I could be way wrong.

Post by: boneaddict on May 11, 2008, 01:17:09 PM: For the most part its the desert LT Murray, with the ponderosa stuff about 5 miles up the road. I do offer a bit of an oasis here though with some pines, but mostly sage.

Post by: DOUBLELUNG on May 11, 2008, 01:25:49 PM: Might be why he's there. With the cool spring, I wouldn't be surprised if nesting isn't delayed due to a lack of bugs. Don't expect he'll stay around too long though.
