I was looking at my huge Sliver Maple tree in our front yard, then looked at the 3 Oriole nests from 2 years ago and last year. 2 years ago, we had 1 pair with a fledgling hoping around the huge tree, and eventually climbing toward the top, but I still fear the worst, even if that momma was very protective. Now looking at them, I had a dumb moment and forgot when Orioles return to ohio. Don't quote me, but the earliest I've seen Orioles was around May. Then I thought about the beautiful Summer & Scarlet Tanagers. The only Tanager I've ever seen was a bright Male Summer Tanager last summer at Battelle Metro at a picnic area. So when Do both of them return? While everyone's mind set on returning Warblers, I'm sitting here waiting on Orioles and Tanagers :) ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
