Marta is still under the weather. PLEASE stop by her post and say hi: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018862371#post54
I'm not near as good with her camera as she is. The battery is low and I didn't catch it. It threw the focus off on these from today.

Our Orioles are returning. Yesterday was the first time we saw them at the jelly feeders. It has been raining for the last few days. This female is very wet.
One of the two males we know are back.
The most famous of woodpeckers... the Red Headed have returned too.
Just under the Blu Jay on the rights tail is what is left of a Squirrels ear of corn.
This true lady Cardinal waits for her turn in line to eat.

visitors to our feeder so much, but an Oriole is almost unheard of.

Looks like Mrs. Cardinal is not so happy with the Blue Jays hogging the feeder.
