In my travels around southern CT last Spring/Summer, I remember seeing many Baltimore Oriels.  I have seen none so far this year.  Am I early or are they missing?

Hi Captain Dave
Not sure about southern CT but up in Enfield we have more than the usual. I'm lucky if I have 1-2 in my yard, this year I have at least 6. Also, I hear many in the norm birding areas I visit.
happy birding

Hey guys, I have had a similar experience this year in Somers -  I live 1 mile southeast of the Max Sec. prison property.  Definitely more Orioles than in recent years, and I have at least four pairs nesting on my street alone in the mature Red Oak trees.

One question, does anyone have a reliable location for Orchard Orioles?  I haven't seen one in several years.
