[Maine-birds] orioles in Kennebunk


Here in Kennebunk I have about 3 nesting pairs(assuming the soggy orange/brown birds at my liquid grape jelly are orioles). However, I did note a much smaller migration stopover than I have had in past years. A "regular" Spring brings a shifting population of anywhere from 10-20+ plus orioles stopping for food and rest and always includes at least one orchard oriole. This year the permanent residents seemed to be the only orioles about and not a sight of an orchard oriole. Anecdotal evidence but definitely a variation from the usual.  Sharon in West Kennebunk
