Have been keeping up with my nectar feeder amount to estimate number of Black-chinneds coming in, but the math just didn’t seem to add up. Kept thinking the amt of nectar dropping was simply more than the number of hummingbirds I was calculating. Think I found my culprit this AM, lol!
Beautiful male Bullock’s Oriole, tilts the feeder & then laps the nectar from the port.
It seems to be hit and miss. I was there yesterday and immediately found it near the front entrance, it was very vocal and moving around pretty busily from treetop to treetop, but staying in that area. I went there again this morning, and couldn’t find it anywhere. I went over to the other park by the dam, nothing there either, stopped back by discovery one last time and once again, nothing. So, if you don’t see it, keep trying!
It can range through the park but it is often near the entrance, in tres near the restrooms and/or the trees adjacent to the parking lot to the right of the entrance as you come in. Listen for its song to zero in on it.
