- Comments: "A state first for me, and from my apartment roof no less! 2 swallows zipped by roof, southbound. Initially eye-level, rapidly flying away. Poor photos showing palish rump, striped back. Dark forehead & pale throat not visible from photo angle unfortunately. Tim Healy had one from his roof earlier this morning and several observers had some in CT so there's been a regional influx it seems."

- Comments: "Wasn't expecting a random blackpoll, a bit late, and on a street tree near one of the busiest intersections in the area. Initially heard chip calls and suspected pine, but as photos show the bird had stronger orange feet and legs, striped back , and more of a "streak with eye arcs" than "goggles" for facial markings. Photos."
