black vulture
american robin
white-breasted nuthatch
tufted titmouse
carolina chickadee
i also went to the cemetary and after some research believe i had a pileated woodpecker that flew overhead. the shape was right for a woodpecker or a meadowlark. White on the wings as it flew. three possibilities: flicker, meadowlark, pileated. of course i forgot my fieldguide, but looking around online the only bird that flashes white on the wings in flight is the pileated woodpecker.
Also had a hermit thrush at the cemetary on Monday.
other birds i've seen while driving:
eastern meadowlark
red-tailed hawk
american kestral
sharp-shinned hawk
dark-eyed junco
