Find Me If You Can

 
Baltimore Oriole. Bill Hubick
They can sing and they can hide.  The Baltimore orioles inhabiting the giant sycamores gracing the Willow Grove Nature Education Center have been singing their sweet, sweet song for all to hear while keeping out of sight.  Listen carefully and you'll hear them sing, "Park, Cromwell Valley Parrrrrk!"  The blue trail, which runs along Mine Bank Run, is a veritable oriole boulevard.  If you've never seen our Maryland state bird, hike the blue trail.  You can't miss them.
