1. Babies have hatched

They go into a protective hiding.

2. They are currently in fourth place in the AL East.

Seven games back of the division leading Yankees. I understand your concern now.

3. Mine always hit the feeders really hard

a constant presence and then "poof" they are gone. I rarely see them again until the next spring. I think they stay close to their nests once the eggs are laid. I don't actually know this but this is how it is every year here. I have a lot of wooded areas here on the farm so there are lots of places for them to be hidden away.

5. The adults came to the grape jelly

with their young ones. About a week ago they quit coming to either the oriole feeder (nectar) or the jelly. We still get a lazy-ass robin, who should be eating earthworms but eats grape jelly, coming all the time.

6. I know about the robins.....I call our feeder a fly through for the robins....it's like a fast food

joint for them. I think we'll take our feeder down as soon as this jar of jelly is gone.

I hope they come back.
