This morning, a Carolina Wren was singing incessantly on Koepsel Rd. in
Wolcottsville, where I have not had them before. While driving north on
Griswold Rd. near Middleport, a Golden Eagle passed by going west, in
association with a Red-shouldered Hawk and a couple of Turkey Vultures.

I was surprised to see a Eurasion Collared-Dove at our bird feeders
this afternoon (12398 Platten Rd., Lyndonville). We normally have 40+
Mourning Doves around every day, but the Collared-Dove was by itself.
It only stayed a couple minutes. I will repost if it returns.
