Upon further review, a sparrow we struggled to get a positive ID on
yesterday we have now determined is Savannah. The bird returned and
the better light quality today and a better photo of it helped us
confirm it.
So that makes an unprecedented NINE sparrow day for our yard, and it
is also new yard bird for us, number 127.
We knew the Indigo Bunting was early, but hadn't realized just quite
HOW early it was. Last year's yard date was in mid April. From the
looks of the bird, it probably should have waited those extra weeks
before coming... it looks poofy and unwell, but better than yesterday
at least.
