It seems Orioles descended upon the Mecklenburg area this noon. We are just uphill and southwest of Ken's. While watching and adult male Baltimore on an orange we almost dropped our lunch when, at first blush a bird that looked like a very lost male Audubon's Oriole flew in to displace the first. In and out of the Quince bush of course but Sue finally got a few decent shots confirming what we believe to be a very unusually yellow Baltimore Second year male with full black hood. To add to the excitement we also had Western Palm, Yellowthroat and House Wren arrive today. Yellows, Blue-headed Vireo and Catbird yesterday following the Friday White-crowneds which were singing this morning. (eventually will post the yellow oriole on my FB page). John
