[Maine-birds] No Baltimore Oriole in Winterport

A Baltimore Oriole that had been daily visiting our feeders since Nov. 3rd has not been seen since Tuesday.  Present for a total of 172 days, it was recently acquiring spots of black feathering on the face and throat and we had heard and watched it singing twice in the last week.  For comparison, this is a link to the last photo I took of it on the 20th,  http://www.flickr.com/photos/93083291@N07/8679885896/  and my earliest photo from November, last year, http://www.flickr.com/photos/93083291@N07/8687354314/ .
