It appears our yard Baltimore Oriole has returned. We had one in the
neighborhood last year, but were too busy atlasing to pay it proper
attention. While doing yard work last January, Dan noticed an Oriole
nest in the sycamore tree behind our yard, so it looks like it must have
been nesting. We believe it might well be the same bird this year
because of it's limited vocal repertoire in which the bird prefers
single note calls with only infrequent phrases. (The Baltimore Oriole
was already confirmed for the Atlas block.)
