Nature Done Wright

Rob sez:
Recent highlights at the Celery Farm were a group of 8+
BOBOLINKS singing away at the top of a large tree out in the marsh
(visible from the Scout Platform) — probably the same group of birds that
Fred Weber had before I arrived.

   I also heard and then had a brief flyby
glimpse of a first-year male ORCHARD ORIOLE. Full list is below.
