Greetings All:
I don't know what is going on but this morning (pre-first-light) my
backyard sunflower patch was teeming with songbirds. As I drove to work, I
noted small groups of songbirds in a lot of the weedier yards. With enough
light, finally, to see by as I walked from my parking space to the TTU HSC
building I realized that there were tens, possibly hundreds, of small
sparrows on the lawns and in the trees. Three out of four were Chipping
Sparrows, the others were all Clay-colored Sparrows - so far as could be
told with the naked eye.
This is roughly consistent with the highlights from my yard yesterevening
-1 Wilson's Warbler, 8 Chipping Sparrows, and 6 Clay-colored Sparrows - but
much more pronounced.
Anthony 'Fat Tony' Hewetson, Lubbock
