Saw a male wood duck and a female hooded merganser in a small pond at 
Greencastle Lakes on Sunday - they were not "together", but is it 
strange to have singles like that?  We get precious few ducks other than 
mallards. The wood duck at times lay on the "beach" beside 2 Canada 
geese.  There were also 2 male mallards in the water.

A pair of green herons flew past, and hopefully will nest as they did 
last year in an overhanging branch.  Also saw great blue heron.

Welcomed arrivals: Baltimore Oriole, Orchard Oriole, wood thrush, barn 
swallows, house wrens, catbirds, and some warblers I couldn't see. No 
juncos.
