What I took for Western Tanagers, turns out to be Baltimore Orioles (first year maybe??). I have seen a number of them this month in the backyard visiting the elderberry shrubs...concidentally,the fruits are just ripening so as they say, "timing is everything." I also noticed that these birds seem to be consuming the seeds of the pink milkweed (Ascelpias incarnata).
