Hi to All,
I was just shocked with 18 fox sparrows in my back yard. At first  
light I had 3, about an hour later I had 8, then while chatting with  
my son Chris Ordiway 11 came in and now 18. I just wish they would  
stand closer together so I could get them all in one picture. So far a  
total of 28 species and a couple regulars haven't shown up yet.

Happy Birding,

Patricia Viola Rose
