Today Ed Hack and I found more than 65 bird species in southeastern  
Windsor County, VT. Among notable birds were the following:

1) a calling Ring-necked Pheasant seen off Ferry Road in Weathersfield  
Bow, VT. (Perhaps this bird might have originated from stock released  
for hunting in nearby NH?)
2) a repeatedly calling Willow Flycatcher ("Fitz bew") in Hartland,  
VT, by the commuter parking lot at Exit 9 off I-91.
3) an Eastern Wood-Pewee (white wing bars, no eye ring, and yellowish  
lower mandible, all seen) off Ferry Road in Weathersfield Bow.
4) at least a half dozen Cedar Waxwings at the North Springfield (VT)  
airport. This species has been somewhat scarce lately in much of the  
Upper Valley. There often seems to be an influx into the area in the  
latter part of May.
5) a repeatedly singing Tennessee Warbler by Lake Runnemede in  
Windsor, VT
6) a singing Northern Waterthrush off Ferry Road in Weathersfield Bow.
7) 2 White-crowned Sparrows together off Ferry Road in Weathersfield  
Bow.
8) male and female Orchard Orioles together off Ferry Road in  
Weathersfield Bow. The male of this pair was a mature bird with a  
striking dark chestnut and black coloration. Although we have  
previously seen immature male Orchard Orioles on a number of occasions  
in Windsor County, this was the first time that either of us had seen  
a mature male in the county.
