They are getting numerous, a sure indication that

Frequently seen during the early part of our stay,
when it was much more numerous than I have ever known
it to be in spring. Usually observed in small flocks
in the stubs along the river.
One passing high overhead towards the South; none
were noted after October 12 when I heard a single bird.
