Thank you all for your comments.

Met, last year I photographed the Baltimore Orioles on 4-28-09. In 2008, I photographed them on 4-26-08. I'll probably schedule a visit on 4-24 or 4-25 and/or 5/1 or 5/2. They hold a lot of activities at Centennial so I pick a day when it might be least active. If you can make a weekday, that would be best. They are generally found along what is considered the lower part of the lake. You seldom need to get off of the paved path.

I have attached an aerial map of where I photograph the Baltimore Orioles as well as the Yellow Warbler. As I mentioned, sometimes parking can be an issue (on weekends). I park on occasion at the lots I marked "Alt. Parking". Anyway, I usually only walk on the Rt. 108 side of the lake because of the direction of the morning sun. At the location I marked with a yellow triangle, they have occasionally built a nest, on the lakeside of the walkway. But you may also see nest building along the path that I place arrows. They are quite active and you can generally hear them before you see them.

Hope this helps.
