On Thursday, the 4th, birding was pretty good here on the mountain. The 
highlight of the day was a Lincoln's Sparrow at the yard stream, the first one 
this season. Hawks were on the move also with 3 Red-shouldereds being in the 
air at one time and a Red-tailed soon after. One of the two Red-breasted 
Nuthatches I have been seing came to the stream. A Ruby-crowned Kinglet was in 
constant motion while feeding in several shrubs.Thrushes were in evidence with 
3 Eastern Bluebirds, 2 Swainson's Thrushes and 2 Wood Thrushes found. A few 
warbler species were still passing through which included a couple of 
Tennessees, a male Cape May, 2 Magnolias, an Ovebird and a female American 
Redstart. One male Rose-breasted Grosbeak was feeding on sunflower seeds at a 
platform feeder.
