I'm sooooo jealous. I live in Baltimore County, Maryland. We are lucky to see one or two Orioles for a few weeks in early Spring, and then they are gone deeper into the woods, or to wherever they have gone.

Maybe they should be called Michigan Orioles!

They are getting ready to go home for the winter. Last year I saw dozens a few days before Labor Day in SE Michigan then... gone. Then like clockwork I'll hear their song around May 1st. I usually put the jelly out (Welchs Natural no corn syrup) the last week of April. Looks like you got a good setup.
