Birders, There's nothing like a White-crowned Sparrow, a Whie-throated Sparrow, a couple of Song Sparrows, a Chipping Sparrow, a couple of Dark-eyed Juncos and, best of all, a Fox Sparrow to erase the stress of a very nasty day at work. Hail to the Sparrows! (Just had to say that) What a remarkable family of birds. Can't get enough of them. Also, this may be the earliest fall Fox Sparrow we have had. I will have to look back through our yard lists. Good birding to all and don't forget---plant native.
