Q. Hello, Chip: I read, with interest, your article (“A Glimpse of the Past”) in the October 2024 issue of Ohio Cooperative Living magazine, and thought you’d be interested to learn that we now have our own Native American Center in Ohio. It is called NAICCO, which stands for Native American Indian Center of Central Ohio, and here is their website: https://www.naicco.com/.
Ohio Cooperative Living magazine readers are fascinated with wild birds. I know that because each time I write an “Ask Chip” column about birds or birding, questions/comments from readers abound. Last month — May 2023 — was no exception. My monthly Woods, Waters & Wildlife column featured orioles and how to attract them to backyard birdfeeders in a story titled “Looking Good in Orange.”

Q. My husband and I are arguing about an orange bird. We think it’s a male oriole. He and his partner are flying around the outside of our house all day, front to back, porch to porch, and windows everywhere. What are they and are they looking to nest?

Q. Hi, Chip: I Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your article “Spring on the wing” in the March 2024 issue of Ohio Cooperative Living print magazine. It was well-written and informative. I had always wondered why some of the red-winged blackbird’s wings were red and some were yellow. Now I know!
