2016-02-02 Thread marsha kardon
At about 2pm we were watching a flock of at least 5 bluebirds in the trees between the boat docks at Treman marina and the solar panels in the next parking lot. Then a male Baltimore Oriole flew into the same trees and allowed us excellent views of his beautiful plumage in the bright sunlight.

Awesome! How disappointing that you didn't get a saw-whet. (Just joking) Yesterday, I tried Thomas Rd for abut 1.5 hrs for screech and saw-whet and got a screech, but no bobcat. A lot of commute traffic starting at about 6:00. John Confer From:
