Hi E.B. Birders,
At Coyote Hills Regional Park this morning, about 8:00 am, there were at least twenty-five to thirty orioles in the red-flowering eucalyptus, buckeyes, and old pines behind the visitor center.? They were even foraging in and chasing one another around the hemlock.? Of these, most seemed to be freshly plumaged young. I saw only one adult Bullock's and two adult Hooded Orioles. I could not find an additional oriole species among these birds, but not all birds were seen well.? When I returned to the visitor center a bit after noon, orioles were foraging in the butterfly garden and in the red-flowering eucalyptus nearby.?
All the Best Birding,
Denise Wight
