Yesterday (Monday) in my yard there were good numbers of thrushes with a FOY Veery (larger and not as red as the Hermits). Also several Fox Sparrows. Carlson Lake a block from home had three Red-breasted male Mergansers and two Hooded. I did not have time to seperate the females. My yard is a convention every morning with Hoodies and Woodies lining up for the boxes. It is almost impossible to approach my window without scaring ducks from the trees.
