Hi Folks,
I went over to Brandon Wagners this morning and after about an hour and a half
or so, the oriole showed up. He tells me his wife first saw it on Saturday, so
it just might continue on a little longer. This is the second Hooded Oriole
record for Polk, the first was 5/3-12/84, only 30 years ago. After seeing the
pic and looking at the real bird, I am now kicking myself because, way back
when, maybe the early 90s I saw a light all green oriole with a black
chin/breast at my in-laws next door and wrote it off as an imm Northern Oriole.
Quite an assumption. I suspect it was near the time when the Eastern Phoebe
was at my place in '92. Guess I was experienced enough to ID the phoebe, but
not the oriole. Oh well, I hope to be ready for the next Streak-backed Oriole
that comes around.................
