PUBLISHER’S NOTE<br />
Vicki Franz<br />
The migration of Baltimore Orioles in spring is nature’s<br />
proof that spring has arrived! The colorful male featured<br />
on our cover in a blooming cherry tree will help you identify<br />
them by sight. The female’s head is a little less black<br />
with a paler body. Both have two white wingbars on the<br />
shoulder. These colorful birds migrate each year and prefer<br />
woodlands, river groves and tall shade trees with shrubby<br />
undergrowth for shelter and nesting. They have adapted<br />
well to yards, parks and avenues of trees along streets.<br />
They like to nest in tall poplars, willows and cottonwoods.<br />
If you’d like to attract Baltimore Orioles to your backyard,<br />
along with many other spring flyers, get your feeders and<br />
birdhouses cleaned out! Orioles will visit nectar feeders,<br />
but also like several fruits and jellies.<br />
Of course, we’re also excited about the other migrating<br />
Orioles, returning from their Florida training grounds.<br />
Hope springs eternal for baseball fans. Every year we’re<br />
prepared for a season better than the last. But, this year<br />
feels different. There are more possibilities than foregone<br />
conclusions. Opening Day at Camden yards is April 4.<br />
Let’s get behind our team and head out to Camden Yards<br />
for a great summer tradition! Check out our sidebar in<br />
Events. Go O’s!<br />
We introduce a new special section, Outdoor Living,<br />
to get your imagination going for landscaping, pools and<br />
gardening. We have so many talented local landscaping<br />
companies, but they’ve been through several lean years. If<br />
you’ve been putting off a project, give one of our advertisers<br />
a call. They will provide great ideas and solutions in<br />
any price range. I am an avid gardener, but could have<br />
made better decisions had I consulted these guys before I<br />
began landscaping around my old home.<br />
The HOME section continues, as well, this month.<br />
Nothing says spring cleaning like replacing draperies,<br />
rugs, updating furniture or putting on a fresh coat of<br />
paint. Let’s get moving and enjoy spring!<br />
We’re with you every step of the way!<br />
