My yard here in Russell County, Va. has pulled a fast one on me. I normally have 30 or so White-crowned Sparrows and zero White-throated Sparrows; but today for the first time I have just the opposite. I counted 51 W-Throated just a few minutes ago. A lone Pileated Woodpecker has been seen several times and a Northern Flicker. Checking every few minutes; but no Am. Tree Sparrows. Loads of the usual Juncos, Song Sparrows, Goldfinches, Doves, Cardinals and Blue Jays. A few Tufted Titmice, Chickadees, Downy and Red-bellied Woodpeckers and White-breasted Nuthatches. One lone E. Towhee. Dave Worley Rosedale, Va.
