If you have taken down your Hummingbird and or Oriole feeders its time to clean and get them refiled with fresh sugar water and oranges and jelly for the Orioles. This past week 7 young orioles all at the same time are visiting the feeders at my home. I would still suggest bringing in the feeders each evening to help deter any bear activity.
Please report any unusual birds to Judd Brink via email. Please include a photo and or a brief description in the email if possible.
Go birding today and use our birding kits which are available for your birding convenience during your stay in the Brainerd Lakes area. Find more information on the Bird Watching.
