Subject: hooded oriole back in Magnolia neighborhood of Seattle


This morning we observed the hooded oriole in our birdbath, and I was able to take some not-so-good photos through the window (go to: http://www2.snapfish.com/thumbnailshare/AlbumID=155301013/a=27731915_27731915/t_=27731915) . An eye-opening sight this gray morning! We have seen a hooded oriole in our yard and nearby neighbor's yards over the past two summers; this is the first sighting this year.

For others who would like to see this bird, this is the same neighborhood where a hooded was observed last summer - in the vicinity of Magnolia Blvd, W. Montfort Place, Perkins Lane and W. Raye Street; all approximately 1 mile south of the south border of Discovery Park in Seattle. Our house is located at 2580 Magnolia Blvd. W, and the birdbath is at the rear of the house, visible from Constance Drive W.
