Our yard birds haven't been unusual so far this winter, but the number of 
White-throated Sparrows has surpassed counts in past years.  We counted over 50 
birds in the yard this weekend and that was just the ones we could see! The 
yard was alive with them, with a good measure of juncos, cardinals and Mourning 
Doves in the mix.  As if to balance the large number of White-throated 
Sparrows, we've had very few goldfinches.
   
  It's always fun to watch!
