at the old feeders. Well, not at the feeders, but there were
golden-crowned sparrows on the garage roof very early this morning, and a
female house sparrow had returned to the blackberry patch. The
blackberries climb up the laurel and hang over the garage roofs, so the
zonotrichia and my resident song sparrow scratch around the roof looking
for blackberry seeds. All is better.
