While searching (in vain) for the Horned Larks reported by Bill Hubick 
last week just west of the Benedict Bridge, I stumbled across a 1st yr 
male Baltimore Oriole feeding contentedly with a pair of Bluebirds in 
short grass just w. of the parking lot at the WMA off Rt 231. This is 
not an easy bird in CH County even in breeding season, and indeed is my 
first ever there.

The Tundra Swans (~65) reported earler were still across the street.
