Hi all,
          Before starting work, I visited Ken-Gar Rec Park in Kensingtion to view the lovely Baltimore Orioles that nest there.  While watching them, I heard a squealing from a tree, and watched as a Warbling Vireo was engaged in battle with a House Sparrow. The two flew around battling until the vireo departed to another tree.  I never knew them to be so fiesty!  Don't know if it was a draw.
