Hi Bob.  They were in the far SE corner of the park, just before the tunnel we walked through and discovered the "mystery bird" (flycatcher?).   I was hoping to sight the male Baltimore Oriole, but ... Nope, not around.  

The huge groundhog was at East end of the lake, grassy hilly area not far from the "food table".  

Cool re: Cedar Waxwings!
