The ice storm we had in Galax over the weekend has produced several new "yard" birds for my house. I have had 2 Fox Sparrows show up on Sunday (16th) and have been here every day since. Also, yesterday and today (17 - 18) I have had my first flock of Red-wings for the year. Included in this flock was one lonely, female Rusty Blackbird. Sometimes when the weather is to bad to get out, watching your feeder is not all that bad. 6 species of sparrows so far this week: Fox, Song, White-throat, Field, Chipping and House sparrows.
