Hooded Oriole – He’s drinking the exact same sugar/water mix that the Hummingbirds drink, which is 1/2 cup white, granulated sugar in two cups of water. This cagey fella knows he’s beautiful, and bright, and a target for the sparrowhawks in the area. He’s as paranoid a bird as I’ve ever seen. It’s taken me 4 years to get this video, 4 years just for him to tolerate seeing me within 50 yards of him. There’s only two of them in the entire area that I’ve seen, him and his mate…I’ve never seen other adults, never seen any of their offspring, assuming they are hatching eggs every year. He may run them out of his territory as soon as they fledge. I do not know anything about their habits. I hope you enjoy seeing him as much as I do! He rivals my dozens of Hummingbirds in sheer beauty and wonder.

Hummingbirds are fun, entertaining, full of energy and it’s easy to attract hummingbirds.
