    Hi EBB;
    
    There are a pair of nesting Hooded Orioles at the Oakland Zoo. ?In past years, they've nested in the Sun Bear enclosure. This year they chose a palm tree between the primate islands-a good choice because this year there's a new young Sun Bear who loves to climb. ?The palm tree is located at the east end of the Siamang Island, across from the chimps.  It's surreal to be birding in Oakland to the sound of hooting chimps.
