It's a great season for birdwatching at Beechwood. This morning a black-crowned night heron flew in to join all the goldfinches, tree swallows and kingfishers at the pond:

There were several orioles around, but they wouldn't sit still long enough for me to get a picture. I decided to take a little video instead, so you get to hear them as well. My previous camera could take video clips but didn't have sound; I'm enjoying my recent upgrade!
