On this initially foggy and cool, and then brilliantly sunny, morning  
Ed Hack and I found 32 bird species in the vicinity of Lake Runnemede  
in Windsor, VT. The most numerous bird species, by far, was the Canada  
Goose of which roughly 300 were foraging in the harvested corn field.  
Other waterbirds included a few Mallards, Wood Duck, a Double-crested  
Cormorant, a Great Blue Heron, and at least one kingfisher. A Sharp- 
shinned Hawk and two kestrels represented the raptors.

Among other landbirds, particularly notable were three flickers, a  
Pileated Woodpecker, three Eastern Phoebes, a Swainson's Thrush,  
numerous catbirds, more than a dozen Cedar Waxwings, an Indigo  
Bunting, numerous Song Sparrows, some Swamp Sparrows (at least two of  
which were singing at times), and White-throated Sparrows. There were  
four species of warblers: numerous Yellow-rumps, a few Black-throated  
Greens, a Blackpoll, and a number of Common Yellowthroats.
