Baltimore Oriole Visit

What a Blessing! This morning I was sitting in my family room with the sliding door open listening to the birds singing. As I listened, I noticed a bird call that was not part of the normal everyday repertoire I am used to hearing. I went out on my deck and started to listen for the call. It was coming from a tree in my backyard, I scanned the tree and then I spotted my visitor a male Baltimore Oriole! In the spring there is a huge songbird migration that occurs through Northwestern Ohio but at this point we are towards the end and it is not very often you get to see such a beautiful bird. What a great way to start my day off!
