I returned this morning (6:00a-7:30a) and did not see the Egret. But, I did see Orioles! Eleven brilliant adult male Baltimore Orioles! I could here them singing from the tops of the trees all around me. One male, perched at the top of a willow singing, and three others came and to join him. The first male did all the singing while the others remained silent. Not a feather was ruffled as all four sat within inches of each other. They moved from tree to tree, gathering periodically in small groups.
