Jim,

Perhaps the Fox Sparrow visited Silver Spring before heading over to 
Bethesda.  I have not seen one again since my first sighting a week ago 
last Sunday.  On Monday this week, I had my first flicker return to the 
yard.  We usually have 4 or more familes here in East Silver Spring 
during the summer.  My one over-winter Robin has been joined by about a 
dozen others now.  My yard is too wooded for them to live here in the 
summer but in the winter and early spring they love my compost piles!
