Mr. Murray's class visited Long Point Bird Observatory last week. Added to the usual obstacles to survival, were severe drought and fires on the wintering grounds. With luck, their numbers will be replenished this breeding season. This unscheduled oriole update is provided so you'll have the latest migration data.

They're unfamiliar with their surroundings, and are tired and hungry after the long journey. At last, the first big wave of Baltimore Orioles was reported from Texas.
