juicy inside of the orange had disappeared entirely, only the peel and the 
fine dividing skins being left. Seeing how these lovely songsters like orange, 
I took the feeder down the same evening and made the necessary changes 
so that half an orange could be fastened to either side. The following 
morning I did not have to wait very long until the four orioles showed up 
and left no doubt that they appreciated my service. 
They remained regular visitors in my garden during the season and 
soon brought their babies along. I now had the pleasure of watching about 
a dozen of these lovely birds every day and soon found out some more 
interesting facts about their appetites. They regularly started their meals 
with the orange cup, selecting as the next course fresh suet. Then they 
changed to the dessert counter, a feeder with mild American cheese, and 
finished their dinners with a few bites from half an apple which I pre- 
sented in the same way as the orange. This made a four course dinner for 
the orioles, and even if they occasionally left out a course here and there 
they generally followed the same routine. 
One day I observed a Cape May warbler feeding on the orange, but 
he had taken only a few bites when the orioles came and chased him away. 
They seemed to consider the orange their exclusive property and watched 
it jealously. 
My ambition was to induce the orioles to weave one of their interest- 
ing nests in my garden. I hung up three nesting aids and kept them filled 
with yarn of different strengths and colors. Soon the orioles started to 
pick out threads to build into their nests—but not in my garden. Evidently 
I had no trees suitable for their purpose. Even if they did disappoint me 
in this respect, they are more than welcome every spring and they will 
always find their four course dinner and nesting material awaiting them. 
I should certainly hate to miss this fascinating picture of the orioles 
sitting on the perch of the feeder and craning their necks to enjoy the 
orange. In this position and action the orioles really show their beauty 
and charm.

Wisconsin Society at Green Bay 
THE WISCONSIN SOCIETY FOR ORNITHOLOGY held its annual meeting at 
Green Bay on Saturday and Sunday, April 11 and 12. The implied promise 
of their slogan for this meeting, “Follow the swans to Green Bay,” was 
fulfilled when a number of the great birds were seen by those who partici- 
pated in the early Sunday morning field trip. An excellent program 
included colored movies by Dr. A. A. Allen, of Cornell University, Murl 
Deusing, of the Milwaukee Museum, and W. F. Kubicheck and C. E. Gilham, 
of the Fish and Wildlife Service. Mr. Earl G. Wright, a director of the 
Illinois Audubon Society, formerly connected with the Chicago Academy of 
Sciences, and now Director of the Neville Public Museum in Green Bay, 
was elected to succeed Mr. Deusing as President of the Wisconsin Society 
for the coming year. Next year the meeting will be held in Waukesha.
