You ATE an oriole?!?! ;-)

Good luck! (but what does this mean?)
I guess it’s only fairly recently, and only around fairly hard-core birdwatchers, that I’ve heard the phrase “dipped” used this way. It means to try to see a particular reported rarity, but come up empty.
I dipped on the Orchard Oriole again today. But someone else saw him, so he’s still around.
A Nashville Warbler has also seen several times in the same spot.
And a short distance away people have been consistently seeing a Blackburnian Warbler…
…and a Swamp Sparrow.
All of those would be great if we could get them for the count. Ten more days…
