Great start to the day on Gore Orphanage Road in Wakeman in our back
yard.  A flock of ruby crowned kinglets were off the back deck in the
pines and wild rose bushes.. The hillside under the feeders were
alive with white throats (counted 10) kicking up leaves.  The pond at
the base of the hillside had a green heron and a wood duck. While
watching goldfinches,downy woodpeckers, nuthatches and red bellied
woodpecker at the feeder a rose breasted grosbeak flew back and forth
several times.  All this activity was viewed over a period of an hour
from the back deck. . Warblers could be heard in the upper treetops
but we were unable to identify any other than the yellow rump.  Most
of the birds continued to stay in the yard until the temperature
began to rise and the sun came out.
