Thank you!

Thanks!

I didn't realize the sound I was hearing was from Tom's dragging their wings till I saw your video, ha!!

@filbilly Yea they are awesome birds! When you consider they living in the wildlands, and still strutting like they the boss, they awesome!!!

@@campingintheforest_ Ha ha! Yah!

Great! Good luck!

Thank you!🙏🏽

I've seen the Oriole twice at WB Pond. From the platform that overlooks the pond, the main trail goes east. There's an offshoot trail that then takes you towards the American River south of the pedestrian bridge where there are some small rocky rapids. I saw it in that area. I used Merlin to identify the calls and saw it pop up. There's also a nest hanging in one of the trees.

Thank you!

Definitely a vocal bird, ha! Thanks for viewing the video!

Thank you

Thanks!

Thanks! Not long after I shot this the two males got into it, but it didn't last long. Not sure about that hawks one eye. I was wondering the same thing.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you. It's hard to believe they were almost hunted to extinction. The males are massive!

Thanks! Staten Island is an island in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, northwest of Stockton and southwest of Sacramento. The land is owned by the Nature Conservatory.

@@filbilly Do you need to pay to visit? I heard the Woodbridge Ecological Reserve requires paid permit.

@@QVL75No, you park where you can. It's a public road. There's also Desmond Road near Cosumnes River Preserve and the Preserve, but I think Staten Island Rd is best around sunrise and sunset. I haven't visited Woodbridge yet, but I think they might require a land use permit.

@@filbilly Thank you very much for the valuable information.

@@QVL75If you're on Staten Island Rd. go past the grainy on the right and keep driving south till you see water on the left. The Cranes are in the flooded fields sometimes with geese. Good luck. I hope you get to see them before they leave

Thank you!
