[Carol Besse <csbesse@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Despite the rain, I decided to try to see the Bullock's Oriole in 
Lawrenceburg on Sunday, as I was unable to go on Saturday.  As I was 
standing in the field behind the Riddle's house in the pouring rain 
trying to negotiate my binoculars and an umbrella, Anette came out and 
invited me in to view the bird from their dining room window.  The bird 
was fantastic -- he spent most of the time I was there at the feeder or 
enjoying the sliced oranges they had put out for him or perched in a 
nearby tree shaking off the rain -- he was very cooperative and not too 
worried about being watched at all.  The Riddles said he had been there 
for about a month.

And much as I hate to contradict Brainard, the Riddles told me it is not 
necessary to call them in advance to see the bird, especially as they 
are often gone during the day.  If you plan to go, I recommend you 
follow Brainard's directions in his post of Feb 10th -- they are 
perfect!  I enjoyed  the bird from 2 to 3 PM Sunday, Feb 13 and didn't 
see any other birders there.
