If you look around your yard you may find oriole nests. They're unique in that they hang down from limbs like a pouch or sac. juanita > After talking to my grand daughter these a re Orioles.

Speaking of birds we have a feeder just out side our back window and it is the only window that is open to see out side except in the kitchen. So far we have had Robins, Sparrows, Finches, Baltimore Orioles, Black Birds, Blue Jays with one Crow!! But we also have a small bird i do not recognize!! Hope i can tell you what it looks like!! It has a Yellow Breast with a black and red spot around its ears. I quit right here because i wrote it down but cannot find it now!! But this i know for a fact. I thought all birds only had one partner but found out that the male Black Bird comes early and builds up a nesting area with ca 4 to 5 nests. Then when the females come they pick the nesting place they like and the male gets 3 to 5 females as partners. I did not know this till i read it in the news paper last week. I will send in the descripcion of that bird when i find it. Viola.
