Interesting morning for my weekly Saturday morning trip to Blendon. The yellow rumps were back and were intermixing with a flock of juncos getting ready to leave, I assume. Lot's of song sparrows singing. I thought I saw a Lincoln but wasn't able to convince myself with the rain dripping on my binoculars. One lonely and drenched tree sparrow. Snow is all gone, but lots of mud!
