Hot Dang! A pair of Balt, Orioles were pecking at the orange slices all day today. It just seems to take a little longer for the species to filter into the habitats on the west side of the lake, but we check every day once the birds are spotted on the east side. Another example: yesterday a Catbird flew up from our creek. I think I heard him say the east side was too crowded for him. On a sad note, a Common Yellowthroat was found lying on the trail next to the creek in a state of great weakness---near death I would say. We moved him off the trail and today when I checked he was gone. We hope he recovered and left of his own accord, but...who knows?
