[EBB Sightings] re: Hooded Orioles

Dear Mark, EBB birders,

Several pairs of HOODED ORIOLES nested in palms in our neighborhood 
in Oakland this spring (Maxwell Park, near Mills College, just off 
the 580). Adults and juveniles are now frequenting our backyard and 
consuming large quantities of sugar-water and strawberry jelly at our 
oriole feeder.

Since we're brand new to the area, we can't say how many years Hooded 
Orioles have been in Maxwell Park, but the natives (i.e. our 
neighbors) claim to never have seen them in previous years.

Good birding,

Chris and Satya Witt
Morcom Ave., Oakland
