Orioles frequently return to the same areas to nest but they rarely re-use a nest. In my case the Orioles return almost to the day each year.
Today was my first sighting of a Baltimore Oriole in my yard.
I have a bird book where I record when I see the firsts of the season as well as other events in life. Today, when I turned the page to record my Oriole sighting, I was surprised to see that this is a very common day for Baltimore Orioles to return to Rice Lake.
Last, a leap year, the Oriole returned a day late, or at least that is when I saw him.
2016 the Oriole was 2 days late, another leap year.
Curious!
Welcome back you little beauty!
