never seen a BCNH in that pond - i've actually never seen a thing in that pond and laugh at the sign that shows pileated woodpeckers near there.
the orioles were hanging out at Beechwood/O'Connor turnoff for the trail. i should have some decent pics at home. they move fast, though.
as an aside, you ever have any luck at Todmorden Mills? i only come back with mosquito bites. never see birds.
Hey, don't be laughing at our signs! I haven't seen a pileated woodpecker there either, to tell the truth, but have certainly seen my fair share of downies and hairies. (And a good variety of other birds, a big ol' snapping turtle, muskrats, beaver-chewed trees, and, recently, deer. There's lots going on around that pond.)
I gave up on trying to get a still shot of those fidgety orioles, but I'm happy the video worked out instead. Birding is more of a sideline for me, not my main focus, but I always find it interesting. I only pass by Todmorden, not through it, so I don't really see too much there. Rabbits on the lawn, sometimes! The indigo buntings are a happy exception.
Here's a grainy shot of the bcnh at Beechwood pond, taken yesterday morning.
