Hummingbirds visit

Oh, I'm sooo excited, I had my first Ruby-throated Hummingbird of the year visit my hummer feeder. Its a nice red feeder with commercial hummingbird mix in it with room for four birds at once. He stayed long enough to take drink from each of the feeder ports. I hope he goes on to tell all his friends of the free meal at my house.

I also have an Oriel feeder up. This is the first time I've offered a feeder for them, filled with raisins, grape jelly and orange slices. I've never seen an Oriel and hopefully they'll like what they see !
