    The House finch seem to love the oranges more than the Orioles....I do have more Orioles eating them than any other year though...One thing I don't notice is them going from the grape jelly and then to the orange...they eat one or the other.

    You know Sherry I don't think it's possible for you to take a bad photograph!! I always seem to take soooo many and only a few are worth saving.
    Your House Finch is a charming little bird that is quite similar to our Redpolls.
