Thanks to Spencer Hardy and Chris Rimmer for the alert -this morning 10-11 AMish)  
we saw the immature male Orchard Oriole on the Connecticut River, rt. 5 Norwich,  
across from the camouflage quonset hut. (Don't have a better description either,  
Spencer).It's just before Oyster Dock.

	I second the thanks to Spencer and Chris for the alert.  I stopped by the spot  
this afternoon on my way home from work (after first trying the flats where the  
interstate crosses near Hogback Rd., without seeing anything of note except a  
first-of-the-year Bobolink), and the oriole was exactly in the spot advertised:  
in the small trees lining the river, across the road from the quonset hut.  I  
wonder whether he'll stay around.
