I've spent most of the afternoon working on the 5th floor of the Middlebury College science building..the big windows facing west are a very distracting!

14 species so far, with the highlight being two Northern Goshawks passing by at eye level! Probably a pair, with the smaller bird in transition between brown and gray. 

Neotropical migrants, however, have been very hard to find. In 6+ hours of birding on foot this week I have found exactly one warbler--a singing Yellow at Otter view park on 5/4. A Gray Catbird was the only new arrival this morning in a great-looking patch of woods near campus that so far has had hardly any migrants. Hopefully this change in weather will make things more exciting.
