Baltimore Oriole (female).
A cool, sunny morning. We got to the hill fairly early, dog and I, but by the time our hike was done, the parking lot was full of cars. Got a glimpse of a pair of Black-Billed Cuckoos (!) and saw a pair—at least a pair—of orioles. Also enjoyed a few interesting conversations.
