[birdky] bky Re: latest editions

It was hard to tell who was calling louder,  the Baltimore Orioles, Orchard 
Orioles, or the Warbling Vireos.  But the best thing about it all was there 
is a fresh Baltimore Oriole nest at the very end of a branch of an Elm tree 
at my cabin on Jonathan Creek (Ky. Lake).  It has been over 12 years ago 
since a nest in that tree successfully fledged Baltimore Orioles.  Or were 
they Northern Orioles at that time?

Also building a nest in the Sweetgum was a Kingbird along with Bluebird 
brooding eggs in the box and Cardinals on their eggs  in a bush. A lone 
Cattle Egret in breeding plumage was prancing along the shoreline.  This is 
the first Cattle Egret I have seen at my cabin.   I think it had better 
look elsewhere for a mate.

Solitary Sandpiper at the end of my street in town his week (Murray). Also 
observed a Solitary Sandpiper and Green-back Heron at watershed lake in 
Murray.
