Around 1:00 p.m. at the south-east end of Milne Park (where the path that follows the shoreline starts to dip down) a full adult male Orchard Oriole was singing in clear view low overhead in the planted "clump" of vegetation beside the path, which follows the southern side of the park (east of the beach). Keep driving through the park to the easternmost parking lot, then follow path extending east from beach, near water's edge, eastward.
Milne Park runs east off McCowan Road, a couple of hundred meters south of Highway 7, well north of the interchange with Highway 407. There was no entry fee today, but sometimes there may be (as on weekends?...not a good time to go because of crowds). Also singing (not seen) Warbling Vireo.
