The number I heard from the woman in the nature center was about 20,000
total, with about 4-5,000 at Mispillion during Thursday's flyover count.
Closer to home, I heard a yellow-green Orchard Oriole singing the other day,
but it lacked the black bib my field guide says is characteristic of
first-spring males. Do female orioles sing?
