Thanks to the Spencer and Doug Hardy, I was able to find and photograph the
Orchard Orioles that are nesting in Norwich.  Photos of them, and a female
Baltimore Oriole for comparison, are at:

The male Orchard Oriole is apparently a first spring bird.  It lacks the
dramatic colors shown in most drawings.
