Hi all,
I'm lucky enough to have a direct view from my office on the north feeders and

I enjoyed a late lunch hour on my back deck (1-2 PM) today -- birds were
definitely moving on the north winds. I saw at least 6 high-streaming
BROAD-WINGED HAWKS (I'm sure I missed many), plus a migrating AM KESTREL, a low
imm. BALD EAGLE, and a very high v of 30 CANADA GEESE. Anyone at Mount
Greetings birders:
Right now there are a few siskins feeding in cedar trees on Green St. adjacent
to Agway.
The timing and conditions look good for hearing great egret night flight calls
tonight. My past experience suggests that 8:30-10PM is the window to hear
egrets, presumably individuals
