The ORCHARD ORIOLE (I assume the same one) that nested in our yard was back this morning singing loudly from a large maple. In May he was actively defending a nest then all went quiet. Not sure if there was a successful fledge or not. Today is the first time I've seen or heard him since the first days of June. What a nice surprise to hear his joyful song again!
BARN SWALLOWS are fledging as I type.....at least one nest has seven heads sticking out this morning. And we have a MEADOWKARK in the general vicinity that I can hear from my yard. That is a very rare event. Perhaps they like the army worms......
