Decided to go to Peach Hill after work today, even though I got there at about 
5:30 pm.  Despite only two hours of quality light for photography, I had a 
great birding day.  My highlight of the hike was two male orchard orioles, a 
first sighting for me.  I managed to get a decent photo of one of them, but 
they were chasing each other all over the place.
