We had a Baltimore Oriole last Saturday in Coshocton County.  It flew before 
I could "get on it" with my binoculars, but another long-time and 
well-respected birder first saw and identified it, pointing it out to the 
rest of us.  Last I checked, our reviewer had not "accepted" the sighting in 
eBird, but I don't know whether he's had a chance to look at it yet.  And, 
there is occasionally a report of one on at least one Christmas Bird Count. 
Three or four years ago, there was one on the Millersburg count, and last 
year on the Chandlersville count.  So, although they may be pretty rare this 
time of  year, it's certainly not unheard of.  Thanks for sharing.

Subject: [Ohio-birds] Athens, SE Ohio: Baltimore Oriole

A female or immature Baltimore Oriole was mixing in with other yard birds 
today here in Athens. That’s late for this species around here, but eBird 
shows still plenty of October observations from east of the Appalachian 
Mountains. Maybe this bird got blown here with the eastern winds…
