Here's a couple of mine. They are still kind of shy, hard to get photos. I am using Oriole nectar, it doesn't matter to them, they love it!

Is that one a fledgling, or do they all look that young?

 

[conniecat]

I am not sure. It may be a baby, it was pretty small.

What is Oriole nector and where do you get it Connie?

 

[conniecat]

LI got it a Walmart, it is orange, and it even taste a little orange. It is supposed to draw orioles, but I haven't seen any.

The city looked nice this afternoon with a blanket of fog, so I was trying to get a good pic of that, when a hummer suddenly appeared at my feeder, so I had to snap him!

Thanks for the pics and links connie. We don't have those little birds down here, as far as I know.
