We had an invasion of wt sparrows today. What a  beautiful chorus of  pure 
plainative song. They were busy eating tree seeds especially elm seed and 
popple catkins.This event occured right after the rain.The tree pollen was wet 
and stuck to the bird's bill giving them a yellow velvet appearence. Very 
strange to see them at the tops of trees. Others were more typically foraging  
in the flower beds and driveway edges.They were jumping in the leaf litter. The 
bird's were also seen drinking water off the rain-soaked leaves.
