I had to laugh reading Linda Sullivan's post about the Bullock's Oriole at Vasona, because I couldn't come up with a better description of the bird I saw today at Ed Levin Park!! (snipped from Linda's post): <<< ...the most gorgeous male Bullock's Oriole.  He was florescent Orange on the breast with a beautiful sunshine yellow on belly...nice black eye strip, black throat patch and the top of his head was crisp black.... >>> How can a bird be so neon orange??? The Bullock's Oriole was in the eucalyptus trees near the big field where the hang-gliders land. There was also a gorgeous Western Kingbird in the grove, perched not 10 yards from the BUOR! What was sheer magic was the half hour with an absolute absence of any human noise. The birds in the trees, field, and hillside were singing their hearts out. I'm a music teacher, and it was surely the most beautiful sound I heard all day. ( ; The Kingbird and the Oriole were both life birds for me! I understand that they are both fairly common in the summer, but I can't quell my enthusiasm for new birds and just had to post again!! I promise not to make a posting about a "Rock Pigeon siting!!!!!"
