Ten to 15 mins ago, about 2000-3000 snow geese flew over our barns going
from SE to NW, so may have been seen in Ithaca and vicin.
Only saw one blue but may well have been others. Nothing like Ross's
seen.

, two Caro. Wrens at the feeders. Also four crows right beneath the
feeders. They must have been very hungry because they almost never come
that close to the house.

We also had a female RTH today in t'burg. In fact, Shirley reported seeing
a second hummer but too quick a look to see markings.

usual 3 species of woodpecker. No little migrants today but maybe the hawks
have kept them in hiding.

Just had a Ruby-throated Hummingbird at the azalea by our front porch on
Savercool Rd off Rte 89. The initial attraction seemed to be a small hybrid
lilac blooming nearby. It did not stay long, probably due to two large
critters sitting within a yard or two.

Yesterday there was an E. Kingbird hawking insects from atop one of our nest
boxes. The box's current occupants are Tree Swallows, but there appeared to
be no conflict. We have not seen the Kingbird again.

Four WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS (3M, 1F) at our feeder this a.m. in the company
of one Song Sparrow and 2 Juncos. Looks like fallout all over this area
based on reports from others this morning. Yesterday there was a male
PURPLE FINCH at the feeder (FOY).
