The recent snow storm, the last of the season we hope, brought most of our local birds up to the feeders. We usually have about 25 species and 200 to 300 birds with the peak activity occurring during and just after weather events.
The Song Sparrow is usually the first to sing in the spring and it has a varied and melodic series of tunes. It stays all year round in this area. The White-throated Sparrow is also a year round resident and it is also an early singer, "Oh...sweet Canada..Canada..Canada".
