This evening I found 2 Field Sparrows at Loch Raven reservoir - a nice
treat among all the white-throats.
I was wondering if birds gain any nutrition from eating Japanese
Honeysuckle. Today I watched a Cardinal eating the leaves (healthy
leaves without any galls), and a couple weeks ago I saw a White-throated
Sparrow doing the same thing. Has anyone else observed this?
