[birding] Another oriole

[Mary Garrard]

Hi all, this is the fourth year I have seen orioles in that location. I've also seen them once or twice at the end of Glen Eden Drive but don't always get that far on my walks. 

I'm a lazy poster so don't often put my sightings on this list, but I'll try to do better in the future!

FYI, if you're in that area, there's a Yellow Breasted Chat along the powerline trail about 3-4 power poles north from Walnut. There may also be another at the intersection of Bonney and Glen Eden, but I haven't been able to verify that he is a different individual. 

There's quite a nice vatriety of birds in that development. I just wish that the homeowners would not put in such extensive lawns and other sterile landscaping. Some of the undeveloped lots have good habitat, which will undoubtedly dwindle as more houses are built.

To add to Joel and Lisa's recent postings of unexpected orioles:
This morning we saw a male BULLOCK'S ORIOLE along NW Bonney Drive, between Brandis and Highland Dell parks. The bird was in a Douglas fir in fairly open habitat (the extensive front lawn of one of the large houses along that street).  Are we experiencing a local irruption of orioles?
