This afternoon at 3:55, two adorable little juncos flew onto my deck and began feeding hungrily becoming my FOTS for this species for this season. They are really welcome back. They had what was apparently a starving house sparrow with them which ate as if the world was coming to an end and scratching furiously (towhee style) with every bite. Though I tried hard, I could not make this critter to be anything but a house sparrow. I mean, like, a Harris' would have been nice! Oh well, another day.
