Baltimore Oriole

Today we saw a Baltimore Oriole, a flash of orange and black; a family of Canada geese with their goslings, hopping off into the creek; and a big fat water or muskrat sliding into one of the water-filled ditches.

Came home and looked up the oriole on whatbird.com: http://identify.whatbird.com/obj/567/_/Baltimore_Oriole.aspx

Played the birdsong... and Bella helped me to find the noisy bird inside the computer. She went from almost-comatose-asleep to fully-alert-with-nose-on-keyboard within the first "tweet".
