Orchard Oriole at Wooton’s Landing

Hot, hot, hot.  Even at 5:00 in the morning I could tell it was going to be  short day. Between the very active insects and the heat, it’s just no fun out there when the Sun gets high.

There was very little going on at Wooton, and I spent more time (in the shade) looking for bugs than I did for birds.

A short stop at Sands Road was almost totally unproductive.

I often pass by the commonplace Mockingbird, but there wasn’t much else to see today.

This  Orchard Oriole was easy to hear, but hard to find, high in the tree.
