April 4 2011 - Sparrowpalooza!
Considering it started as just a quick glance st the feeders today turned into quite something.
A couple of Chipping Sparrows around the deck including one on the Niger feeder were the immediate surprise
Shortly after a Fox Sparrow flew into the tree from the lower are of the garden - both species reappearing later in the afternoon ( but with only quick photo ops ).
3-4 different White-throated Sparrows were around throughout the day abs the Song Sparrows remain the only ones interested in the mealworms on offer.
It was generally busy all day with an unusual visit from 2 Starlings and the appearance early afternoon of a pair of Cowbirds - probably a new garden species
