Baltimore Oriole
The very tall cotton wood tree that several of the baltimore orioles nested in was cut down last fall, My orioles haven't been seen at my feeders, do you think they will return to my back yard?
AnswerUnfortunately it's hard to say, now that their favorite tree is gone. Your best bet is to test different foods to try and entice them to return. Orioles like cracked corn, pecan, strawberry and grape jelly, halved oranges and apples, bananas, cooked rice, grapes, raisins, suet, and peanut butter. Good luck and keep us posted.
