We'd never seen orioles at our feeders before, but this year a pair seems to have taken up residence, however temporary, at our cabin on Lake Superior. They hang around the hummingbird feeders, even though they're six times the size of the little birds, and are almost comical the way they have to grab one perch and lean across to drink from the neighboring plastic flower.
