Congrats on your fledgling orioles debut. I saw another adult not half a mile from my home. I was waking and seemed to have startled it, but I couldn't figure out what had its interest there on the side of the road. "Just add Water"...I think I have a title for a future blog entry; after my pond is ready for the unveiling, I can use that title to document what comes to visit...and what comes to stay! (Now I'm thinking frogs! ...and learning to recognize the tree frog chorus.)

The reality that what I'm really working with doesn't match what is in my head is setting in...so, I'm trouble-shooting, and, even though it is far from complete, it has promise.
I hope to have a couple sneak peaks posted soon (meaning "tomorrow").

I was walking back to grab something when I saw one fly off--I can't be sure it was at the water, but it might have been checking it out when I disturbed it. Of course, I had no camera with me at the time. However, going through the pictures I took today, I was shocked to see this in one of my shots (I'm sure I had pulled the "what is that bird in the distance" zoom trick...but had no idea I had this until I just went through the pictures now! I must really need new glasses!) This has been cropped from the original...oh, and this is another dead elm, right on the border of the property line.

Oh how exciting!
I've seen a few here but I've yet to draw one to an orange. Just not enough trees and cover to feel safe I guess.

![]() Yes, it is one of the many joys. I'm glad they like what they found.
