Orioles!

Hal looked up how to attract them this week and learned that putting grape jelly in an emptied half of an orange rind will work. So Sunday night we ate a couple of oranges by scooping out the orange, and the next day he put up a pole with a 2 by 4 with a couple spikes and 2 halves with some Smuckers grape jelly. And 24 hours later, there they were! We couldn't believe it! Fourteen years here and we've never seen one, and less than a day later, there's a couple males and at least one female. I managed to snap a few photos through the window this afternoon, and here is the best one.
