We saw what looked very much like a Bicknell's Thrush in the yard 
this evening.  We have seen Bicknell's three times before in the 
woods around our house, twice in the Fall, once in the Spring 
(Calling).  We were able to study the bird for over 10 minutes and 
the field marks certainly lined up.  It didn't call and seemed quite 
nervous, not straying far from the bushes.  We have been hearing 
Hermits lately, but the bird didn't fit the bill.

Also seen were a Blackburnian, Yellow-rumped, Black-throated Green, 
Rose-breasted Grosbeak, a pair of Purple FInches, and two 
Broad-wings.  WPs are going nuts, with Pileateds and No. Flickers 
raising a racket.  We still have our Pine Siskins at the feeders.

I got a hummingbird report from a friend in Athens, VT.  He had one 
at his feeder last week.
