Morning all,
For the past 4 days we have had a beautiful adult White-crowned Sparrow in the yard, feeding on the ground beneath the feeders, in the bushes. Yesterday, several CHipping Sparrows were here also, and today a large adult Cooper's Hawk was hunting on foot and chasing birds throughout the holly trees, but came up empty. I have a few pounds of expired ground beef saved to put out tonight or tomorrow for the hawks (perhaps a Red-shouldered) or maybe some local vultures!
