"Yes, Dear" :)
Information about a "fall out" can be found at 10000birds.com
This weather is also the preferred weather for the nesting Kemp's Ridley Turtle. I will be on the turtle patrol at 8:00 am Thursday.
I started seeing a lot of little birds flying around the campground, so I put out some raisins and sunflower seeds that I found in the cabinet. I don't normally put out bird seed because of the grackles and seagulls. After just a few minutes, I had to bring the seeds in because the seagulls and grackles found them, funny thing is they kept spitting them out. I guess they prefer garbage.
Then I remembered that we put out oranges at the refuge. I cut 2 oranges in half and stuck them on the bush near the back of my RV site and then waited patiently for the birds to come over from the other shrubs.
These are orioles, but I did see one painted bunting and one black and white warbler. I thought I saw some other red and some yellow birds in the flowering bushes, but was not able to get pictures.

At one point, I counted 18 orioles on the top of this bush, fighting over the 4 orange pieces.
Didn't take them long to clean out the oranges,
I cut an apple in quarters and put it out there and a few of them are eating the apple.
