I wish I could be there! This lifer has missed the last couple of years. I
will do my best to send the orioles! I do hope you get a good turnout and
see some good birds!
Rain is so needed and seems to be splitting before it reaches us. Cleanup
day isn't fun with the rain though. I'll pray for it to start once you're
done. ;)
