Oriole at the zoo

[Mary]

On Friday, I had the pleasure of going to the zoo with my kids class. It was a very rainy day but lots of birds singing. While we where having lunch a brightly colored bird whizzed by. I jumped up with excitement; other moms thought I was a little crazy; and chased after the bird. I had never seen a oriole before, so I was not quit sure. Sure enough, there it was a male Bullock's Oriole . Wow, it was only a second or two, but my day was made! My first oriole. ;D

Mary, congrats on your first Oriole. There is at least one pair at Cheam Wetlands about 30 metres from the start of the loop trail.

Awesome, thanks. We might head out there today.
