Blue Mash Nature Trail, Zion Road Section, Montgomery County, 30 Apr 06,

A chilly start to this last day of April.  Birds of note included a
White-eyed Vireo (HO) and 2 Yellow-breasted Chat.  Six species of sparrow:
E. Towhee, Chipping, Field, Song, Swamp & White-throated.  A small sycamore
offered an Iceterus menage a trois of sorts as a female Orchard Oriole
chased a male in the lower branches while a male Baltimore Oriole looked
down from above.
