Man, you are so lucky.
That's for sure, Jim and we are really hoping for a nesting pair this year. Ironically, it's possible that it happen last year as I was talking with a neighbor that recently moved to Florida, and when I mentioned the Oriole, he said that he saw him at his place during the summer, even though I did not see them after they left in the latter part of April. The neighbor owned several acres, mostly marsh, very close to our property! Hope one will pay you a visit soon! Take care!

Very nice photos! Orioles are beautiful birds, my second most favorite bird (after Cardinals) and my favorite MLB team (before the Cardinals).

Many thanks, Orso, and love St. Augustine, and also hope that you were able to catch the O's opening game yesterday! It was a great one! Take care!

Many thanks for looking and the generous three thumbs up, Cheryl. We had one that stayed about a month last year and when it left it was almost like losing an old friend and we found ourselves looking and hoping for its appearance each day! Since that time I have talked to a close by neighbor who said that he saw one during in the summer so hope maybe they are nesting in the area! Thanks again and take care!

Thanks, Larry and several days ago saw two at the sane time, but both appear to be males, and I think that one is slightly smaller than the other. Just this morning one landed on the jelly container and grabbed a few bites. Thanks again and take care!

Beautiful shots I looked at the ones posted later in the thread..
Thanks, Val and the first one showed up in the later part of December, 2016 and was joined by the other male in probably late March or early April, but the both have apparently moved on as we have not seen them in almost a month, and sure do miss then them. Hope you guys and the pups are all OK and thanks again and take care!

Thanks very much, bnewmk for the kind words and really appreciate you looking! They really are beautiful little birds and sure hope they return, and still have the jelly feeder and half an orange out, just in case!
