Hi Tweeters,

Good week to see the crows do the funny things they
do. One crow was stuffing dead dried up leaves under
a constrution sign lying flat on the ground. Nesting
material for later? Bug attractor? Who knows. In
the area where 2 ladies often feed the ducks one crow
got a good hold of a small gulls wing and created
quite a ruckus. The crow let go before the gull dove
down to the water.

Only one sighting of the Redhead, Monday am.

Heard a faint song of the White-crowned Sparrow at the
feeder at Aqua Verde. Nice! He was banded as well,
left leg green over hot pink, right leg dirty orange
over silver. On a different day saw him grab the
orange band and move it up and down his leg once.
This is the first time I have watched a banded bird do
anything with their bands. I thought I saw a second
banded white-crowned but could not get a good enough
look. An immature was with banded one.
