10,000 Birds

I photographed the first of only two Northern Parulas ever reported in my state, way back in 2013. And the Baltimore Oriole is an iconic eastern bird, which winters along Mexico’s east coast, but never in the west. And then there was a Green Heron , not only showing us its nest, but also an egg. And yet, there it was.

In North America, at least in the eastern part of it, we celebrate the return of the Baltimore Oriole to parks and farms this time of year. Baltimore Orioles are surprisingly slight when you get a look at them, but troupials are about the size of a jay, and with the bearing to go with it. I will broker no argument to the contrary.
