The Association of Marine Birds and Feeding Gray Whales

18 years we have had Village Weaverbirds in outdoor aviaries at Los Angeles during the spring and summer, female Hooded Orioles (Icterus cucullatus) and Bullock' s Orioles (I.bullockii) from the vicinity have repeatedly visited the aviaries, clinging to the wire sidewalls and peering at the birds within.Female Western Tanagers (Pirunga ludoviciana), whose males are black, yellow and orange, were also attracted.No other local species of wild birds have been similarly attracted.This work was supported by grants from the National Science Foundation to N.
