First of season for me fox sparrow appeared under my feeder a short while ago. This is also a brand new yard bird! A junco has been singing to beat the band for about 2 weeks in my yard. First I have ever heard Junco singing so persistently. Do you think he might find a nice lady friend and stick around? Or will he soon return north for the summer? Anything I can do to encourage him to nest?
