Welcome new young birders to the bird list. Mike and Carol Miller of Silver
Grove
Road Bluff City, TN have joined the bird list. They are new birders with lots of
enthusiasm. Yesterday , Jan 10 I told them to study the sparrows. For years
all brown birds were song sparrows to me (most still are), but they should have
some white throats at their feeders.
Well this morning carol called and said she had a "bunch" of white crowned
sparrows at the feeders. Ho Ho Ho! I live within a mile of them and havean't
had
a white crown for over five years.
To show her the difference I motored down and was greeted with an invite into
the kitchen with awonderful view of three feeders. And what to my wondering
eyes should appear but a "bunch" of white crowned sparrows. They had song
sparrows,
wrens, juncos and the usual, but not one white throat sparrow.
Carol is a retired Sullivan County teacher and Mike is retired from THE Eastman.
Oh to be young again! .
