Just wanted to report my first sighting of Baltimore Oriole at Strack Pond, Forest Park this morning. Yesterday just as the fog was rolling in a good number of birds were found, Blue-gray gnatcatchers, yellow-rumps, palm warblers, blue headed vireos. One man at the pond told me he saw a fist sized bird (perhaps a bit smaller) with blue, red and yellow on it "Something someone would keep as a pet" were his words. I never saw it, but who knows, maybe we have a painted bunting?? Long shot! Just putting it out there incase anyone has the time and will to investigate.
