It’s been fun watching the migratory birds at the back yard feeder this spring. I tried something new and added a feeder specifically to attract birds that love fruit. One side of the feeder holds a cup filled with grape jelly, and the other side has two spears on which to slide orange halves.

I was hoping to attract the migrating Baltimore Orioles, but I guess I’ll have to settle for painting one. I’ve read that it could take a few years for the orioles to find it, so I’ll try again next year. Do you enjoy watching the birds? It is so interesting and relaxing.
A beautiful Oriole…have fun watching the visiting birds. My backyard attracts birds and I love to watch them fly in and out.
I love watching all the birds at our feeder as well. Very nice pic of your Oriole!
I love watching birds. My daughter saw an oriole in the tree in back, but not me. Still, the robins are finally back! (K)
Love the colors on this bird! Beautiful painting, Carol!! π€π§‘π
I saw several Mountain Chickadees in my yard the other day, they are so cute and fun to watch! π¦π
Thanks, Sharon. Iβm relaxing and watching them right now.
Thanks, Judy! Itβs so relaxing to watch them.
Glad the robins have returned, at least. Still waiting for an oriole. βHere, birdie, birdie, birdie.β π
Thanks, Jill. The chickadees are so cute. I think that was the very first bird I tried to paint a few years ago. Hope you are doing well!
Yes me too. I think they’re about as good as cats at coming when you call, though…
Lovely bird!! Yes I’m a big bird nerd!
