This morning (September 8) we saw one hummingbird along on the  
northeast driveway from Route 5 into Lake Runnemede at Windsor, VT.  
Also, I saw another hummingbird late this afternoon visiting a variety  
of flowers in the backyard here in Norwich village.

Other highlights at Lake Runnemede this morning included 2 Great Blue  
Herons, 8 Wood Ducks, a singing Warbling Vireo, a silent Magnolia  
Warbler, a singing Common Yellowthroat, and three Rose-breasted  
Grosbeaks. One Sharp-shinned Hawk was present and interacting with  
three crows. Sometimes a crow flew in pursuit of the hawk, presumably  
a male in view of its small size. At other times the hawk would chase  
a crow.

Along Rice Road just east of its  junction with County Road in south  
Hartland, this morning we saw one Great Blue Heron and another Sharp- 
shinned Hawk together with crows.

Along North Hartland Reservoir off Clay Hill Road in Hartland near  
noon today we saw a female Common Merganser and an immature Bald Eagle.
