Orchard Oriole
Sunday, May 16, 2010
This is my first Orchard Oriole. I saw it at Avalon Preserve in one of the fields west of the barn. I knew it was something new (to me) when I saw it, but it wasn’t until I got home and perused my Sibley’s that I could identify it. Then I sent the pics to my friends at Four Harbors Audubon and they confirmed my guess. Those birding folks are very helpful. JK

Buffleheads
Sunday, May 2, 2010,
Back in March, my friend Sue, of the Four Harbors Audubon Society, asked me if I could get some pics of Bufflehead Ducks. So I decided to paddle the Lower Carmans River where it passes through Wertheim Refuge. This was not exactly a chore as I really like this stretch of river at any time of year. As a matter of fact, I went two days in a row. I also know from past experience that this is a good place to find Buffleheads.
Here’s one.
Here’s two.
Here’s a whole herd of them.
