A male Orchard Oriole was feeding in our 2 red flowering Quince bushes in the backyard 
early this morning.  I heard one singing 3 days ago but was unable to spot the beautiful creature until today.  A male Yellow-Shafted Flicker was probing for breakfast items under the nearby maple tree.
    Male Bob-o-links began arriving in our grassland acreage 3 days ago.  Meadowlarks are also numerous in the grasslands.
