Just heard a Song Sparrow practicing putting his tea kettle on in SW Columbus suburb. Nice to hear until I remember this is February. Couple of weeks ago I was entertained by a White-breasted Nuthatch stashing safflower around our patio. He placed one seed in between panels of a gate and then grabbed a dead leaf and stuffed that in also, presumably to help hide the seed.
