[EBB Sightings] White-throated Sparrow (finally)!

I recall that someone is keeping track of all the White-throated  
Sparrow sightings, and we finally had our first one ever at our  
feeder this week.  It looked like a first winter, white-striped  
bird.  Surprisingly, a Slate-colored Dark-eyed Junco showed up the  
same day.  The Merlin that I first spotted here last fall has  
continued throughout the winter, visible nearly everyday (though the  
growing flock of over 50 Band-tailed Pigeons is chasing it from its  
favorite perches).  We live in the Hagen Oaks neighborhood of Alamo,  
across Stone Valley Rd. from Round Hill Country Club.

Good Birding!
