Mine eye caught a different shape of sparrow out by the base of my feeders today, so I quickly drew my glass and confirmed that there was indeed a Fox Sparrow at my feeder, new yard bird! But then, from behind the bush there emerged yet another! Two Foxes at my feeder, I was quite happy, one of my favorite sparrows, such beautiful birds (and when singing, they have a beautiful song to match). I hope they are here again tomorrow.  Other birds at my busy feeder were White-crowned Sparrows, Am. Tree Sparrows, White-throated Sparrow, Song Sparrows, Juncos, etc. 



I forgot to report that I had seen the local Barred Owl on friday afternoon as I left for work in the snow storm. It was an unusual setting for a Barred Owl sighting, still well in the daytime and by the roadside on a power-line no less. I've actually seen it there once before. It is fun, owl sightings always are, and this guy just made me laugh.




Happy Birding,
