Hello, 
  
  I saw a BALTIMORE ORIOLE in Charles County at Smallwood State Park, on  the afternoon of December 3.  It was in a group of juniper (cedar)  trees near the end of the road to the marina, along with some Cedar  Waxwings and a territorial Northern Mockingbird.  I saw it at less  than 50 foot distance through my car windshield, and noted that the  sides of the face were kind of brownish, there was no obvious  patterning on the head, the breast was orange, and the top of the upper  wingbar had an even margin.  
  
  Other birds I saw at Smallwood State Park on my first visit there  included a flock of 24 LONG-TAILED DUCKS flying overhead, 3 Bald  Eagles, about a dozen BONAPARTE'S GULLS, and about half a dozen  FORSTER'S TERNS.  
  
  Cheers,
