Shortly before 7 this evening a Bullock's Oriole dropped into my backyard for a look at both the grape jelly basket and also the bird bath that has a Whisper Drip attached. After a look at both, he went to the back of the lot and sang the raspy Bullock's song. Then, he came back for another look at the grape jelly basket and abruptly left. I had opportunity to see all field marks and to hear him sing. I continued watching for him to return until rain started, but he didn't show up again this evening. Tomorrow is another day! Wow!
