Hello - hope you don't mind me adding to your list a certain singer I've
been enjoying at the nature center:
A Carolina wren has been vocalizing fairly regularly. What a great sound to
hear!
I saw a Carolina wren at the Center's feeders a few times in January during
the coldest stretch, but then not again the rest of the season. So when he
started singing recently I was quite happy to hear he might seems to have
survived the winter, assuming it's the same bird.
