On the riverbank dirt paths east of the Lilydale boat ramp there was at least one, possibly two, hermit thrushes foraging. A pair of Canadas appear to have a nest at the base of a power pole on the North side of Pickerel Lake, and the bald eagle is still patiently brooding on the nest to the west of the big parking lot. While checking on the eagle I noticed two old oriole nests, hanging in plain sight by the road, missed in previous walks. That served to remind that those of us interested in the BBA need to be alert to things we might miss if we search too narrowly. Linda Whyte
