[Oligobird@xxxxxxx]

Today is day 2 of my last Cornell count for the season, and it is very quiet 
here. Everything is in ones or twos except for the White-throated Sparrows. 
These are surely molting as they are all patchy looking around the head. They 
seem very nervous, dashing out and feeding very quickly at intervals before 
retreating into the woods. The compensation was our first view of a Giant 
Swallowtail butterfly. He sat in the odd posture in the book (Peterson, Eastern 
Butterflies, p. 134) in which the yellow marks on the wings for a wide U with a 
transverse horizontal bar. A very striking animal. Ralph Brinkhurst, Lebanon, 
Wilson County.
