Hello birders,
At Walden Ponds this afternoon in a light rain--it’s common knowledge that Baltimore Orioles like grape jelly, so I shouldn't have been surprised to see a Bullock’s oriole chomping on the blossoms of a hawthorn shrub. In the same shrub was a fat cedar waxwing, both oblivious to my snooping, as long as I didn't try to steal some of their blooms. The hawthorn blossoms smelled unpleasant, but must have nectar to attract these birds. Also at Walden, yellow-rumped and yellow warblers, four American white pelicans, spotted sandpiper, American avocet, tons of swallows, lots of house wrens, a calling pied-billed grebe, and of course the huge chorus of red-winged blackbirds who own the joint.
