Alex Wilson's 3/4 report

An adult male Baltimore Oriole, presumably the same bird first 
reported in December, was seen again, this time back in its original 
location in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Most recent reports have 
been from the Prospect Park Zoo and points southward, Flatbush Avenue 
notwithstanding.

A few hints of spring were evident, with increasing numbers of 
Robins, Red-winged Blackbirds and Grackles on the move and the first 
big flocks of Cedar Waxwings I’ve seen since winter began, as well as 
flyover Turkey Vultures and Wood Ducks.
