This spring, I have been

quite a bit disappointed with the variety and number of migratory bird visitors but things have picked up a bit recently, thankfully. There are now several Rose-breasted Grosbeaks here, at least one “regular” Hummingbird, and the Orioles have also returned after being away for nesting duties. And two days ago, this wonderful individual showed up - an Orchard Oriole. I always used to get one per season at least, so seeing him was special. He has quite the interesting (not normal) beak color.
