A windy and chilly day atop Stratton Mountain yielded few birds 
overall.  Three of us were up there completing vegetation measurements 
on Bicknell's Thrush nests.  We whistled repeatedly but had no responses 
or sightings of that species, or any other thrushes (we didn't get up 
there until 8:45 am).  No finches at all, other than a passing 
goldfinch.  The air could not have been more clear, and some nice colors 
are beginning to show in the lowlands.
