Hello!

While checking Bluebird boxes this evening on the pet trail at Highbanks, I
 noticed several Baltimore Orioles flitting about, some of which were
apparently  feeding in berry bushes near the ground.  At one point, I counted
(and  recounted) 20 Orioles in one tree and I'm sure there were more.  Every
bird  was either a female or a first year bird; no adult males were in the
group.  I've never seen that many at one time before. A Yellow-Breasted  Chat
has still been calling in the biggest field of the pet trail for the past
few weeks.  Summer and Scarlet Tanagers (two each) are still being heard  and
seen along the pet trail.  Cutting over to the Dripping Rock trail to  go
back to the parking lot, I heard two Louisiana Waterthrushes  chipping
and/or singing in the ravine.  Once at the Nature Center parking lot, two  Common
Nighthawks called as they flew overhead. I've seen these two off and on  at
the park over the past few weeks.  Also, there was a Great-Crested
Flycatcher calling near the parking lot.  Directions to Highbanks are on  the OOS
web site or can be accessed at _www.metroparks.net_
