Just spent my lunchtime listening to the Baltimore Orioles who seem to be nesting in one of the two oak trees right behind the Ezra Cornell statue. The male sings a very consistent, syncopated song, and then it sounds like the female, in one of the trees, pipes short phrases of the same tune, right in rhythm with his. Very cool. The echoes between the buildings make it hard to tell exactly where they are, but I did see the male flying between the two oaks several times. It sounded like there are another singing down by Uris Library, as well.
