When I was living in Cupertino, not far from you there in
Santa Clara, I looked all over the Bay Area for Hooded
Orioles without success.  Then one morning I rolled over in
bed and noticed a big orange bird on my hummer feeder---and
logged a lifer Hooded Oriole: the only lifer I've ever
listed (a) without my glasses on, and (b) before getting out
of bed in the morning.
