Orchard Orioles are arriving from migration now. We saw this one on the FL coast near Tampa, at birding hotspot Ft. De Soto. There they have planted mulberry trees and the newly arrived migrants, who just flew across the Gulf of Mexico, land and feast on the berries. To attract orioles to your yard, plant fruiting trees and shrubs, and put out orange halves. Some orioles (not all, there are individual preferences) will also come to oriole nectar feeders which are like hummingbird feeders, but orange and larger
