Five sparrow species today. I put some sunflower chips right below our front window, and then watch to see what sparrows show up. One white-throated for second time in three days. Two days without turkeys–are they too proud to consort with mere sparrows? The kinglet’s presence is a sign that warm days are done at higher elevations.
The white-throat gets his own gallery:
