[EBB Sightings] a yellow bird day

Dear Birders:

This must have been a yellow bird day as I saw my FOS male Hooded
Oriole at the UC Botanical garden late this afternoon .  The oriole
arrival had been reported several days earlier but this was my first
viewing of the gorgeous yellow-orange bird with its black face and
black and white wings.

Over the weekend, a Yellow-rumped Warbler sang in my live oak and a
Hermit Thrush was trying out its summer song soto-voice in the garden. 
Both birds appear to be now gone along with the Ruby-crowned Kinglets
which were a cheerful presence during the winter months.
