10/25 Ellington: I escorted a visiting birder from Phoenix, AZ this morning looking for the barnacle goose seen Sunday. 

We could not find it but did find a cackling goose in fields at the corner of Middle and Abbot roads.  Also were loads of

pipets. 

At home had a visit from the rufous hummer and 20-25 pine siskins.

Somers, Hutten Rd. an adult male northern harrier sitting in the middle of the field.
