A female Baltimore Oriole visits the Hardys' feeders in northern Madison County.
The female passes a meal worm to one of her fledglings
A nicely marked male Oriole visits the jelly feeder.
A fledgling visits the feeder but isn't sure what to do next. A moment later its mother brings a meal worm to it. Mick supplies thousands of meal worms for the birds each year.
The mother brings a meal worm to a fledgling while its sibling looks on from above.
This juvenile has finally figured out the jelly feeder.
Our thanks to Mick and Connie Hardy for all the pictures on this page and a couple of others in this edition of Birds of Madison County.
