Hi Tweets -
It took 5 tries this year, but today I finally got good looks at the Magnolia Hooded Oriole, back for its 3rd year.
The oriole was hanging out, as has been reported by others, down Magnolia Drive -- this is the first turn off Magnolia west of Montfort. I don't think there is roadside parking on Magnolia Drive, so I'd recommend walking down. The Oriole was hanging out just beyond the first big U-turn in the road. I talked to a resident at that U-turn, and she was very helpful in confirming that the Hooded Oriole has been something of a regular in the trees right in that area.

Good birding,
