It should be around now I would think. I haven't seen many Orioles around my place in north AL in several years now. I can't remember the last one I saw that I could say for sure was an Oriole. We have a bunch of Eastern Towhees, which I like about as much as the Orioles, even if they are enamored with chrome and will spend way too long attacking their reflection in any shiny bumper around.

I will try putting out grape jelly and orange halves then. Thanks!

I already have a lot of feeders with songbird mixture and woodpecker mix. I have seen pillieated woodpeckers a few times down here. I was amazed.

Seeing a pileated is always cool. I tried getting more woodpeckers to my feeders this year, but didn't see any takers. They're in the area, at least downies, red-bellied, and the occasional red head, but they have never seemed interested in the feeders. I've seen pileated other places around a handful of times, but never at my place.

ETA: This is Audubon's migration map/tracker. It is kind of weird to use, but the link is to the Oriole page:

I saved that, thanks. Would that pertain to orchard orioles, too?

They show up in our area when the tuliptrees are in bloom. If anyone near you has one, keep an eye on it. Orioles love those blooms.
