UPDATE: I had to go out 1/2 hour ago and put out another 1/3 of a bottle to get through till dark. There were two The barred owls talking to me at the time. Third sample down is what I heard: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Barred_Owl/sounds
We don't have the camera up yet. Sorry. He was eating jelly. First time in a couple years we have seen one.
A common sparrow of the Great Plains, the male Lark Bunting is distinctive with its black body and white wings. It is the only sparrow that changes completely out of a bright breeding plumage into a drab winter one.
We know we have at least several more pairs of Orioles than last year. We have added two more jelly feeders.
We are going through 2 full 27oz jars of jelly a day. That is twice what we have ever done before. We used to buy birdberry until they quit selling it in gallon cans: http://www.songbirdessentials.com/store.php?prodID=37141&title=Birdberry_%28TM%29__Jelly_20_oz_itemno_SE6010

I have both Baltimore and Orchard but never a Lark Bunting. Beautiful bird!
I hang orange halves from my tree by the feeders with the suet that they like. I am at high feeding time here going through 4 oranges a day. As soon as they nest they stop feeding at the feeders 😕
Thanks for sharing the Lark Bunting, what a beauty!
