Hi everyone.  I was walking around Maplewood Park this afternoon between about 12:45-1:45pm.  Stopped at the SW edge of woods to watch a Cottontail Rabbit.  Out of nowhere, a male Baltimore Oriole flew right across the front of my face!  He was not happy with where I was standing.  Perhaps a nest nearby?

Also sighted:

Cardinal x 1 (male)
Grackles
House Sparrows
Red-winged Blackbirds
Robins
Starlings

Could hear a Nuthatch but not see it.  Could also hear Chipping Sparrows but not see them.  The foliage is filled in big time at the moment!  

A few Tiger Swallowtail (?) butterflies and unknown dragonfly.

Maplewood Park:  East side of Glen Erin Dr., just North of Aquitaine Ave.
