A showman's arrival

Ladies and Gentlemen, direct your attention to the tippy-top of the tulip poplar and let's have a big round of applause for the first oriole of the season! (Cheers and applause.) Yes, he makes his presence known with a distinctive lilting song, inspiring viewers to crane their necks toward the tall trees on the west side of the property. Last year Mr. O played a limited engagement, but with some encouragement he might be persuaded to extend his stay. Give it up for the oriole! (The crowd goes wild.)
