Several First-of-season Birds

Hoping to find the Hooded Orioles that were seen yesterday, I birded the flood plain property for about an hour last night. And I birded there again this morning, as well as other parts of the neighborhood. I did not find the orioles but had several first-of-season sightings:

• 2 Clay-colored Sparrows near the new hike-and-bike trail parking lot
• 1 Black-throated Green Warbler on Stillforest (in one of 3 nice mixed species foraging flocks I found in the trees on that street)
• 1 Black-and-white Warbler near the hike-and-bike trail footbridge
• a flock of 5 Cattle Egret flying over Broadmeade
• 1 Yellow-crowned Night-Heron near the hike-and-bike trail footbridge
• 1 Scissor-tailed Flycatcher near Briar Hollow and Meadowheath (and 3 more flying north over my house this evening)
• 1 Black-chinned Hummingbird on the flood plain property (and another at my patio feeder this evening)

There are hundreds of Cedar Waxwings in the neighborhood right now. This morning near the hike-and-bike trail footbridge they were coming down in waves to drink at the creek. Here's a picture I got of a few of them.
