Most active location was the open area (marked by temporary white snow fence) on the west end of Nethermead Arches Bridge, by the path this morning. Hi lighted by a surprising low perched GREAT-CRESTED FLYCATCHER, I also saw two CAROLINA WRENS, one chased later by one of two bright male adult BALTIMORE ORIOLES. Seconds later, one oriole also chased a WARBLING VIREO, upslope abit, behind the fallen tree root. For a very busy day watering, ( including that spot) , a delight to take it all in with the good birds there at that locale ( which I hope to turn into a wildflower meadow ...in time)
and as usual , the ever reliable FORSTER'S TERNS --4 seen -- on the Lake this afternoon after work. WE can't get rid of these guys ! ( wink wink)
