The WHITE-THROATED SPARROW count peaked at 6 today. I put out fresh seed around 3:30 p.m., and a plethora of small birds came to gobble it up. That's when all 6 appeared at once. Two competitive ANNA'S HUMMINGBIRDS have been coming to my feeder. They tend to want to start tanking up for the evening a little before 4:00 p.m. I had to switch feeders only a couple of times today because the sun kept the active one warm enough. I switched near the end of the day when the sun was behind the trees just to give them solution that was a little warmer. A RED-BREASTED SAPSUCKER arrived in the yard very late in the afternoon. -- Barbara Combs obie '70 Lane County, OR
