I had a wonderful walk around our hillside this morning with my dog, and found many birds (with many more hiding and whispering in the leaves). I was especially excited by a clear view of a Swainson's Thrush, because just a week ago I studied my first one, on Monhegan Island with Jeff Wells and the Audubon camp! It was also interesting to have both young Purple Finch and RB Grosbeak near each other for comparison. My eBird list follows.
