[va-bird] Late afternoon visitors, Ft. Smith (Arlington)

[Kestrel923@xxxxxxx]

It was very quiet but a beautiful afternoon at Ft. Smith. I didn't expect to 
see much, but between 4-5 PM today, little by little, the birds revealed 
themselves.

Most interesting was a (different individual) orchard oriole, this one the 
first year male -- yellow-green with that distinctive black throat. He was 
rarely out in the open, rather reclusive, but eventually couldn't resist the 
bird-stream, came down and bathed thoroughly.

Other species:
Red-bellied woodpecker
Mourning dove
House wren
Blue-gray gnatcatcher
Carolina wren
Song sparrow
American robin
Northern cardinal 
American goldfinches
Brown-headed cowbird
Common grackle
Fish crow
House sparrow
