Lots of northern orioles here and a couple pairs of orchard orioles. All have fledgling out of the nest. Robins nesting under our barn eaves on their second clutch. We stop putting out seed so the seed eaters can fend for themselves. Otherwise it is very overcrowded. The insect eaters are more shy and we enjoy them at the jelly, in the birdbath, or getting bugs out of the vegetable garden.

For the past several weeks I've had a leucistic Robin hanging around my back yard. A leucistic Robin is a Robin that has white feathers lacking melanin instead of dark feather.

A leucistic Robin looks like the following...

It's my understanding that only 1 out of 30,000 Robins has such coloring.
