I had 3 Chipping in the yard just now! Not had once since fall :) Also a
Goldfinch looking very "gold" on the head!

Hi Bonnie. After a weeks absence, my adult White-crowned Sparrow is back and
feeding right beside our side porch, under a tall pair of late-flowering
boneset (not flowering now of course) that Pete Osenton gave me. I throw out
large amounts of mixed seeds onto the ground and under the bushes for the
ground feeders, and this bird has been here since December. Large numbers of
juncos, a few White-throats and Song sparrows, and when the grass is clear
of snow, a flock of about 2 dozen Chipping Sparrows as well.
