Just noticed three orioles (2 adult males, 1 adult female) drinking from my hummingbird feeders. Seems they’ve figured out to top the feeders with their weight and drink the sweet solution that leaks out. Since these are all adults, and two are male (and not fighting it out), I presume that these are migrants starting to head to the southwest U.S. in time for monsoon moisture to give them their final meal boost before heading down to Mexico for the winter. “Winter”, seems we JUST got “summer”! Sigh…
