February 28th and 31st
My friend and I went on the bird walk Thursday and saw 50 some crows flying overhead. Our TA later told us that they were migrating and that they do that at night as well. When we entered centennial fields we heard a Blue Jay and some Black-capped Chickadees. We stopped after the little bridges to watch some Tufted titmice fly around us. We got to hear their call, we also called a few of them in and got to see them close up without binoculars. We then walked a little ways, when we stopped it was hard to hear because we had to wait for people to catch up, but we were able to hear a few White-breasted Nuthatches. After a few minutes they came a little closer and we got to see them walking up and down the trunks of the trees.
On Sunday my friend were back in Fletcher Vermont riding around when we got to a top of a dirt road there was a Red-tailed Hawk on a tree branch watching a little field not too far away. When our car got right underneath him he just flew off.

I was driving up a dirt road and look up and there was a red-tailed hawk sitting in a sugar maple tree. A few seconds later he took off and started to fly away
