There was a Grey Catbird at the east end of the airport today. Four Western Kingbirds as well including the nesting pair.

Nice find. I presume they pass through the airport and won't be staying there?
I checked out Cheam Lake last Saturday hoping for one of these. A Bullock's Oriole got my hopes up with it's call, but then I saw the bird...

Jon it’s a good chance they might breed there. It has happened in the past including last year. Other sites that they have bred in the checklist area off the top of my head has been North Bend (annual) Eagle Point Park, Cheam Lake Wetlands, Maria Slough and possibly the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve butterfly |

Yes, there are several Bullock's Oriole's nests at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve. In the Heronry, in the trees near the gravel pit and over the Rotary Trail going east after the gravel pit and bridges where there is a curve in the trail. None of the birds are particularly co-operative, (not often seen) and the nests are usually only visible in the winter.
