[EBB Sightings] hooded oriole AND selasphorus

Here in El Cerrito there has been a resident "pair" for several weeks  
browsing the hummingbird feeders and finally after much patience the oriole  
feeder relocated for better viewing. 
The Selasphorus hummies are back as well. the numbers of hummies is in the  
dozens with a nearly constant swarm particularly at sundown as they get in 
their  last hurrahs. we're going through about a gallon and a half a week of 
nectar. We  also have huge amounts of nectar flowers for them. Favorites 
seem to be the  sages ( esp the Clevelandii) and the milkweeds. Also the 
mimulus cardinalis is  browsed continuously. The buddlea seems to have gone Kaput 
for the season bloom  wise, but they made good use of that too. We have 
four compost and worm bins  providing lots of fruit flies which they gobble up 
like mad.
