[Sid Easley <Sid.Easley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What looked like a male Baltimore Oriole flew in front of my car at 
Pirate's Cove (Jonathan Creek-Ky. Lake)  on June 10.  It had the usual 
black throat with the black extended into a point at the breast, but 
instead of a black crown there were streaks of yellow.  I also saw a yellow 
wing bar. The best I can figure is that it is a Bullock's Baltimore hybrid 
male. (Sibley's p. 518)  Tried to relocate it today but had no luck.  I got 
infatuated with a little brown bat that was swaying on the back of a 
sycamore leaf high in the tree.  It woke up enough to scratch itself but 
decided it was too early and dropped back into a lullaby of wind and waves.
