We think we have a Baltimore Oriel in our back yard. That bird does not annoy me. In fact, it is very pretty. We have tons of hummingbirds. I mean, they buzz around our heads and are not
afraid of us at all. The quail is still nesting. She and her man get a bit irritated if we linger too long in that part of the yard.
The chickens next door are gone. They have gone to Neighbor John's son's house to annoy his neighbors. They eat all the grass and weeds until there is nothing.
My mother gave Miss Brunette a bird book. We have the ruby-throated hummingbirds and
many finch. At first we thought the Baltimore Oriel was a finch. But, it is so big, the
head is long and the colors of his feathers are so vibrant. So, who knows. Love Man has been talking about thistles and a bird feeder. As long as we don't attract chickens.
