Protocol: Traveling
0.5 mile(s)
Comments: First part of a walk with Kim around the local area.
Weather: bright, sunny; warm.
7 species

Mourning Dove 2 with the savannah sparrows.
Blue Jay X
Tufted Titmouse X
Palm Warbler 1 at the corner of Smith Neck & W Smith Neck.
Savannah Sparrow 4 on edge of fallow Birchfield Farm field. They flew from a tree onto the field where they disappeared into the muddy background.
Dark-eyed Junco X
Orchard Oriole 1 female, probable. I saw it in one of the gardens from about 30ft away. It was large & bright yellow with dark wings that had faint wingbars. Either this oriole or a female scarlet tanager. Its brightness & size struck me, but unfortunately it soon went down out of view & didn't reappear despite my best pishing efforts.
