Re: [cayugabirds-l] Orchard Oriole SS Woods

An ORCHARD ORIOLE is singing over towards the Fuller Wetlands NW of the building right now, perhaps the same bird France saw earlier. It's almost annual now that an immature male shows up at Sapsucker Woods, I will check in a little while to see if I can get a look at this bird. On Wed, May 21,
