Steamboat

We’re back with the orioles. Orioles are common here. The local stores recognize that and even sell a specific oriole feeder. It’s like a big hummingbird feeder, except it has orange food in it, and a big picture of an orange on it. Orioles like oranges. We know because last time we were here, we put out a big slice of orange on the bird feeder, and the oriole used to fly right over and stand next to it while contemplating how best to get at the hummingbird feeder and get all that yummy hummingbird food.

But this trip is different. We now have the oriole feeder on the bird feeding rack. The oriole feeder looks really good there, hanging from the bird feeder rack while the oriole feeds from the little hummingbird feeder on the window.
