["nicholas flanders" <flicknanders@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got two excellent views of Baltimore Orioles today on the Noland Trail of 
Mariner's Museum Park in Newport News.  They were my first Baltimore 
Orioles, and one was the first bird of the day, I saw them both near the 
West Entrance to the trail.  As for warblers, I saw a ton of Yellow-rumped, 
two Ovenbirds, a Northern Parula, a Common Yellowthroat, two 
Black-and-Whites, two Prothonatarys, as well as two Black-Throated Blue 
Warblers.  I also got an excellent look at a Wood Thrush, first of spring 
for the park.  A complete bird list follows.
