This morning (October 4) Ed Hack and I birded in Kilowatt Park, north  
and south, and the nearby vicinity at Wilder, VT  (within the town of  
Hartford, VT). Among the 29 bird species found there this morning, Red- 
winged Blackbird was by far the most numerous with roughly 300 in the  
largest flock.

Waterbirds were represented by one Double-crested Cormorant, about 35  
Canada Geese, at least 24 Wood Ducks, 39 Mallards, and a kingfisher.  
Notable among the landbirds were 7 Yellow-shafted Flickers, 2 Pileated  
Woodpeckers, 3 Eastern Phoebes, a Blue-headed Vireo, a Common Raven, a  
House Wren, more than 20 American Robins, about 40 European Starlings,  
3 Yellow-rumped Warblers, 3 Field Sparrows, a Lincoln's Sparrow, and a  
Common Grackle. Gray Catbirds, Song Sparrows, and White-throated  
Sparrows were plentiful.
