Orioles are nesting in our big Maple right off the kitchen. Such a work of art; like a big hanging basket. There is black Ithaca tail hair, dog hair, string, twine, dried grass and baler twine in there. Hoping to catch a picture of Mama and/or Daddy with the babies, but they're pretty elusive. Both parents tend the young when it comes to Orioles.

Super cool, Diana! I love the Orioles. They’re still coming to my feeders. Rose-breasted Grosbeaks and Gray Catbirds, too. I keep hoping to find a nest around somewhere. I’m sure they’re out there somewhere!

Ithaca hair! Love it. When we had our dairy goats they would rub against the fence to shed their coat and the birds would take the hair. Somewhere I have a pic of a chickadee nest in a box and it was a work of art, the white hairs woven in with green moss.
