[Virginia Reynolds <treynold@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The pair of Western Kingbirds have been very visible for the last few  
days. They can be seen regularly perched on the middle two pylons in  
front of the Allen Steam Plant. There is a visible nest on the second  
pylon, but Carolyn Bullock and I did not see the birds visit it.  An  
Orchard Oriole nest is easily seen in the Cottonwood on the left side  
of the road to the Corps of Engineers landing. Many orioles are still  
singing in that area, along with Warbling Vireos. A Painted Bunting  
male was seen yesterday (and heard today near) the water discharge  
channel. Yellow-crowned Night Herons are feeding in the Riverport  
Road ponds along with Least Terns. Hardly exciting, but worth a trip.
