I've regularly heard Fox Sparrows sing in mid-winter here in TN, one of my
favorite songs of the season. Some of these have been on cold, wintry days so
they will sing when the urge strikes even if it is not one of these nice spring
days. Sure is hard to beat a chorus of Fox and Zonotrichia sparrows to raise
your spirits on a winter day!
Good Birding!!

I've been hearing cardinals and White-throated sparrows singing early in the
mornings for a week now, at my house below Marrowbone Lake.
Heard some Meadowlarks and red-winged blackbirds at Bells this morning,along
with thousands of Upland Chorus Frogs.
Chickadees, Wrens, and Titmice singing in Beaman Park also.

always nice to hear all these northern breeders singing together! I would think
the temps have at least a little to do with it, I found myself whistling a few
tunes as well.

I spent a little time at the APSU Farm (Montgomery Co.) this morning and was
surprised not only to find at least 5 Fox Sparrows, but even more surprised to
hear two different individuals singing. I've never encountered Fox Sparrow song
in the winter...but I'm new around here - is this common?
In the forest, I also heard a few songs from a Brown Creeper, and a whisper
song from a Hermit Thrush. Maybe just the lovely spring-like temperature this
morning?
Best birding,
