Beautiful birds, duc. I haven't seen our Baltimore Oriole yet this season. But I'll get one. I just haven't visited places where one is sure to see them.

Last week while I was at Blackwater NWR, I saw this Eastern Screech Owl off in the distance at 10:45 a.m.. The image was shot at 700mm and still cropped. On a previous visit, I took these photos of an eaglet. They (2) are a lot bigger now but still have not fledged. I doubt if I will make it back any time soon since I got my Red-headed Woodpecker.

This morning, I took this photo of a Yellow-breasted Chat at Patuxent NWR. They were everywhere. I heard a Yellow-billed Cuckoo but never saw him. But here is a photo of one taken on 5/10/12.

Have a nice Memorial Day weekend. Be safe !
