Grape jelly, I buy the brand with no added sugar. We have a feeder hanging on our deck, and have been blessed to have them visit while we are sitting out there.
Oh wow, Neil, what a special moment! So glad you were there to see it, and to share it with the rest of us :) "A small miracle of Nature has crossed your path once again." 💕
Very nice poem combined with equally nice photos of Mr. Baltimore Oriole at his ablutions! What a dapper and jaunty fellow- He'd look good in a beret!
Thanks Michael and that's a great point about ablutions! A beret would also be most fitting. :)
Great shots, Neil! Such lovely colors, it’s always fascinating to watch a bird wash off. Thank you for describing this encounter for us.
Thanks James and happy to share.
Wow. What an amazing encounter (and gift).
Thanks MK CREEL and much appreciated. It definitely was a gift of an encounter!
Fantastic series of Baltimore Oriole bathing and grooming! Excellent poem, photos and field notes!
Thanks Heidi and much appreciated!
You’re welcome! Always!
Very enjoyable. I haven't seen orioles yet this season in eastern PA... i am wondering how to draw them in.
Thanks Peter. I have seen some people place orange slices out on branches for the Orioles.

Great to know Over_by_art_Minnesota. Thanks!
Ahh, I loved these!
Thanks Sarah Teresa! Nature truly is an artist. :)
It came a long way north from Baltimore...
Haha, definitely true David!
How gorgeous
Thanks Patris! I was fortunate to see this oriole so close. Usually I only see them far up in the treetops.
Pure envy here. Never have seen one (though hope to).
Am transfixed by the vibrancy of colors on these fey creatures. (So far have seen them dressed in vivid red, blue, or yellow). Just stunning
Neil, this is an extraordinary series of photos! Thank you for being there and sharing these with us all!
Thanks Pamela and happy to share!
What fun to get to watch and enjoy. And capture with beautiful pictures.
Thanks Over_by_art_Minnesota and much appreciated. It was definitely an interesting experience!
