While doing yard work this afternoon, I checked on the progress of a Baltimore Oriole nest in our back yard. I was very sad to see the female slumped over the top of the nest dead. I haven't heard the male singing all day or visiting the feeders. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
