A Successful morning

Despite the overcast skies and stunning drop in temperature since yesterday, I had a wonderful morning birding at Great Falls. Probably most exciting for me were 3-4 Baltimore Orioles right on the towpath. We only saw them in that one area, and then later on the return we were lucky to spot a female Baltimore Oriole (which is yellow rather than orange on the belly). Here's a listing of what I was able to see through the lenses:
