Description
A flash of yellow gold caught my attention on a recent snowy day as I sat at my window counting birds for feederwatch. Merlin and my favorite birding book confirmed my Oriole hunch. A quick email, including a hasty snapshot brought confirmation from local birding experts. It’s amazing to see such an infrequent visitor show up at backyard feeders.

Hello Carole,
Wow! That is very special. I wonder if she joined a Baltimore Oriole group in the mid-west for migration. I currently have a first year male Baltimore Oriole that did not migrate and came to the feeder in December. I am providing jelly mixed with dried crushed mealworms and ground sunflower seeds. It seems to be sustaining him thru these cold and snowy days in Pennsylvania.
