Baltimore Orioles have returned!

As I was racing out the door for work today, I spotted a male Oriole at one of my Hummingbird feeders.  Now that the Orioles are here I expect to see the Hummers any time now!

Hummingbird Migration

According to the spring migration map, the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are getting close to western New York and there has been one confirmed sighting in Rochester.  Two of my hummingbird feeders are going up this morning in anticipation of their impending arrival.  As always, the travels of these little jewels never ceases to amaze me.  Click the link below to view the live migration map:
