["Renee Grebe" <grebe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks all for the dozens of emails I got back!  :)

The strong consensus is that it's a baby Baltimore Oriole, while a few
said Goldfinch (which my orig. gut reaction, but the beak and coloring
seemed just off).  I think the Baltimore Oriole is just the thing I was
forgetting.

Thanks all, the list is a great resource for brainteasers like this.  :)
