H'lo Tweets and Happy Spring!

Both Saturday and Sunday around noon, there was a male white-crowned
sparrow singing at the tip-top of a small tree just over the fence to the
north of the parking lot outside the Academic Computing Center--maybe the
same bird (?) that sang last spring in a tree a hundred feet or so to the
south of the one I saw him in this weekend. This bird threw his head back
and sang his phrase at intervals of 13 to 22 seconds, that wonderful
phrase with its delicious, delightful trill at the end that gives me
shivers and makes me wish I were a female white-crowned....
