Lots of birds by front porch. Oriole swoop to you. Your place is very nice and quiet. Lots of birds seen sitting on the front porch. You have a Oriole on the property. Had not seen one in several years. Mike. Did you know that you can mimic the Oriole whistle and they will swoop down to your face/shoulder? And I do not know how to whistle the correct way but they do come a running. It’s fun. What other types of birds did you see at Lily Pond House? Claire There were the usual sparrows, robins, blue jays and crows. Also a chickadee, gold finch, male and female cardinal, Northeast Mockingbird, and shiny grackles. Mike
