In the north end, a good collection of FOX SPARROWS were the highlight -- at least 17 of them and possibly more. Some were singing. Also singing Field Sparrows, as well as White-throats, Song, a single Swamp, Junco and Towhee, plus a WINTER WREN and a Phoebe. At the south end, three more Fox Sparrows to bring the total to 20 for the morning, more Field Sparrows, Bluebirds but not too much else. Still, a lovely day to be out and about...
