First of the season for me, an Eastern Kingbird. The oriole came over
and whistled at him, but he ignored it and wouldn't budge. Heard a
Yellow-throated vireo and was trying to locate it in a group of busy
goldfinches, and spotted a White-crowned Sparrow.

Yard birds today:
baltimore oriole
e. starling
blue jay (on nest)
a. goldfinch
c. yellowthroat
gray catbird (pair)
e. phoebe
a. robin
song sparrow
r-w blackbird

n. cardinal (pair)
c. lilac, first flower
