[Maine-birds] Liberty FOY birds

Great rewards this week and last- with Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks in abundance; the first hummingbird an hour after putting out my nectar feeder on 5/5, and first of the year Oriole shortly after putting out the grape jelly and oranges on 5/6.

Also have been enjoying seeing and hearing "Drink Your TEA!" from the Eastern Towhee that has taken up residence in my yard for the first time ever.

[Maine-birds] Possible Orchard Orioles in Poland

I believe I had a couple of male Orchard Orioles on my oriole feeder here in Poland. When I initially spotted them in the tree, I thought, "Hmm, why are bluebirds interested in that feeder?" and once I grabbed the binocs to get a better look, I realized they were not bluebirds. They had black heads like a Baltimore Oriole, but the orange was more of a deep chestnut/burnt orange color. According to two different field guides and a couple of YouTube videos, these looked a lot like Orchard Orioles. Would that be unusual here? Will get and share pics if I can.
