[Mnbird] Baltimore orioles

[Al Batt]

  I live in southern Minnesota, Freeborn County, but I live in the northern part of that county. So to some locals, I live in northern Minnesota. The Baltimore orioles and catbirds are queued up to the grape jelly feeders in my yard. There is the occasional kerfuffle as one tries to cut ahead in line. I enjoy their company. I know that they have all gotten the memo. After the first few days of September, my yard will have been emptied of orioles. The grape jelly will go back to accompanying toast instead of birds.
