Happy New Year to all!  The Baltimore Oriole that showed up at our feeder yesterday continued here today.  I went out on the Bowie CBC today and had a great day birding around a territory in the southern part of the circle.  When I got home at about 3:30, I saw the oriole almost immediately - and to my surprise it was eating shelled (chipped) sunflowers.  After it left, I also saw 2 Tree Sparrows at the same feeder.  A Great start for our 2010 yard bird list!

Cheers-
