Baltimore Oriole

In addition to the usual suspects, late on Sunday afternoon (around 5 pm?),
I observed a mature male Baltimore Oriole in very bright plumage in Prospect
Park. The oriole was on the eastern bank of the Binnenwater near to the
Nethermead Arches. It returned repeatedly to a holly bush that was very
popular with other sp. including cedar waxwings.
Ring-necked ducks have returned to the Upper Pool. I observed three drakes
and one hen. ~Monica Berger
