Ok, this was shot near the end of my walk at Wako on a 90 degree day. My arms were feeling the weight of the Tamzooka and this bird simply would not show its face. Based on Sibley, the closest I come is a Baltimore Oriole. Please let me know if incorrect.

When I got to the first Black Necked Stilt nest, mom and dad were taking turns flying around like crazy. Didn't see the chick until processing. Wonder if something got one of the chicks.
