Just heard Sandhills going over Hyde park. (Photos from New Mexico, not Hyde Park).
I’m not at home, but neighbor asking me about “ those birds flying over in V formation “ = Sandhills. Eyes to the skies!! And ears!! My favorite sound!!!
Distribution !!!! 3 of the 7 Habits !!! Here’s birds (I think) on radar from this morning. They appear to be landing for the morning. Also attached is Birdcast prognostication for tonight.

Doesn’t look too hopeful for Finch irruption this year, but I hope we prove him wrong . Finch Irruption Article Eyes to the skies!!!
On a walk in the neighborhood I had some nice birds today, ash throated, vermillion, scissors flys, grasshopper, lark, chippy, savanna and brewers sparrows, and black capped vireo. No pix.
A cool sight this morning: 200 or so cattle egret on Thaxton road south of McKinney falls SP.
