I love it when the orioles return. Summer cannot be far behind. They are very late to arrive here in western WA. None are here yet.

They were beautiful, I've never seen so many so active together before. They were all out in the treetops singing and singing.
Do they usually arrive this late there?
Yes. Bullock's Orioles are relatively late to return to our area. The first ones are just showing now, pretty much on schedule. Here is the eBird bar chart for Pierce County WA. I am surprised that it shows them in the first week of May.
I didn't know about this chart, that is amazing.
