Good Morning! I haven’t seen this posted and didn’t see it on the rare bird alert list so am posting now.
Not found by me, but there is a male Baltimore Oriole nesting with a female Bullock’s Oriole at Metzger Farm. I was invited out to see it this morning-and it was awesome! Both birds were visible quite a bit. It looked to me like they may already be feeding chicks. Couldn’t hear them yet, but I’m sure you’ll be able to as they grow. The Baltimore was found by Gary Bowen. I’m not sure when it was first seen. The nest is just off the trail near the Farm house, on the south side. The birds vocalize fairly regularly so should be easy to find. We tried not to get too close-Gary felt that the birds got a bit skittish if folks got too near the nest. Not rare for them to hybridize I suppose-but rare for right here! Lauren Lauren Burke It's a bird thing, it just is!
