Terry and I haven't had Fox Sparrows winter in our yard for several years now,
but this winter we've enjoyed seeing at least two in our yard most days feeding
on birdseed I throw out in back yard.
Today in the snow, we've seen five at one time, and one or more of them is
singing! We've heard one singing occasionally in the past couple of weeks, but
today one is singing frequently. I'm hearing one now as I write this, singing
every few minutes.
I'm wondering if he likes the snow, or likes the food he's finding in the snow,
or maybe he thinks spring is coming soon! Whatever his reason, it's enjoyable
to hear him sound so happy! And it makes me a little happier too in spite of
the very cold weather.
Hope everyone is finding something happy in the snow, and good birding to any
of you braving the cold and snow to look for birds.
