In May, orioles seem to intimidate the hummers at the feeder. Even though the jelly is about 10 feet away, they still like the HB food too. Worse is seeing a hummer at the feeder later in summer, only to see them leave because a wasp comes stomping around the feeder at them. I wonder if this style of feeder would solve both problems.
Beautiful photos, Beth! I love the rumpled look of the young one.
ReplyDeleteThe openings on the feeder are on the bottom?
