Hello,
This year was the first time I tried feeding Orioles in my back yard. I've seen them in previous year trying to access my humming bird feeder. But this time I put oranges out for them and suet. They love both and I attracted many. However they were around for only about a month, now they are gone. I have orange still outside but no one has been eating it.
My questions are -
Have they left my region? Where did they go?
Will we see them again when they migrate south?
Why do they not stick around like humming birds do? I tend to see the same hummingbirds for the entire summer until they migrate south later on in the year.
