[Mnbird] Orioles keep coming

[Blaine Seeliger]

Every morning I wake up here in Farmington wondering how many Orioles we will have today. 
I expect this time of year the numbers to decrease they continue to hold tight or actually increase!
We always have Baltimore and Orchard Orioles breeding on or around our property every year and this year was no exception. Over the course of the last month we've been averaging nearly a 2 pound jar of jelly per day, some days more recently. 

Today's count. 
5 male Baltimore
2 female Baltimore
10 juv/1st yr Baltimore
0 male/1st yr m orchards
5 female/juv orchards

I believe we had two pairs of Baltimore and three pairs of orchards Breeding that came to visit us regularly throughout the summer. 
We really wish we knew if any of these birds are continuing to hang on or if they're all migrants at this point. I have a feeling the younger orchards are the ones that were raised here.

This count represents birds seen at once to confirm minimums. I'm sure there's many more with the constant coming and going. 

Hope your day is just as awesome as this!
