While out with one of the dogs a few minutes ago, I had a flock of
some 25 Pine Siskins fly over, calling, and heading SE. Snyder Hill
area.
Also my first White-throated Sparrows of the fall, singing in the
shrubs.

This is just a quick note to let everyone know that the area off Railroad Rd.

We have had some fairly atypical weather patterns recently - large low
pressure systems which have moved north and northwest and even some moving
west. Those could have picked up migrants and swept them east on their
south-west quadrants. Just speculation from someone who watches the radar a
