At least I think it is one of those two. I had a Pine Siskin on the 22 and this morning there was a female Purple Finch at the feeder. Today, while weed-eating, I cut some grass on the bank below the driveway that was hiding a Song Sparrow's nest leaving it exposed to the full sun and to predators. It contains 5 eggs. The female returned to the nest even though she was exposed, so to protect her and the eggs I erected a little shelter which I covered with grass cuttings. I hope this does the trick until the grass grows out again or her brood has fledged. Roger Mayhorn Compton Mt No virus found in this message.
