Good morning from the Charlotte Park area of West Nashville just a few blocks 
east of the Cleece's Ferry landing which is on the Cumberland River.
The/another fox sparrow appeared on my deck to feed this morning at 9:30 AM.  
I assume it was the same one from yesterday afternoon, who weighed in acting 
bossy toward the smaller birds only to be "ganged up on" by my 14 cardinals 
who "sent it packing" at that time.  The cardinals are used to the other 
sparrows with whom they feed daily, but did not seem too pleased with the 
pompousness 
of the "new" bird on the block.

Today, the fox sparrow behaved and fed around the perimeters of the circle 
inhabited by the "regulars" and managed to feed without intimidation until it 
was ready to leave.  I guess its hunger overcame its haughtiness.  It is truly 
a 
handsome bird, and I hope it continues to feed here.
