He ignored the Oriole feeder we bought him and enjoyed flapping at his reflection in our sliding door. We are near Bridgeville and had a male BO at our hummingbird feeder for a few weeks.

And they sure were noisy. The first year I couldn't imagine where all the noise was coming from. I looked for birds attacking another bird & looked on ground thinking maybe somebody's baby fell but then the wind starting blowing & I spotted the nest. Every year for many years they returned to the same tree. They are so beautiful. It was a pleasure for me & my family to enjoy them for many springs, then one year they didn't come & haven't been there for a couple of springs. Have to ask my son if he sees them as he still lives in our home. Thanks for the story to remind me of such beautiful & unique birds. Faith C.
