Hello, tweets.

We had been seeing two White-throated Sparrows in the yard since 4 November, and we were startled today to see THREE in sight at once under the front yard feeders. It's an invasion! We also have an immature Golden-crowned and a Fox Sparrow as well as the usual Dark-eyed Juncos (more than ever before, like a swarm in the yard at times) and at least three each of Song Sparrows and Spotted Towhees. They certainly brighten up these dark days.
