MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Had a Fox Sparrow at my feeders today for the first time this year. Also, it's been amusing listening to the White-throated Sparrows in my neighborhood this winter. They are evidently all young ones, and they are still trying to learn the song. Some of their practice attempts are hilarious! This morning I finally heard one singing the entire song over and over, quite correctly and beautifully. Guess that one will be able to attract a female when the time comes. ------------------------------------------- June Tveekrem Columbia, Howard County, MD tweekiebird@toadmail.com ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
