The usual numbers of House Finches and House Sparrows are at my 
Beltsville/Calverton feeders this fall.  Lots of sparrows, fewer 
finches.  Chickadees and titmice are back, after seeing relatively few 
for the past couple of years. Still plenty of Mourning Doves.  More 
White-throated Sparrows than for the past several years.
