This morning we had the first fox sparrow of the
season at our feeder in Richmond View (El Cerrito
Hills N of El Cerrito). It was there along with the
Lincoln's sparrow, Golden crowns and white-crowns. I
haven't been keeping track of specific dates, but the
lincoln's sparrow arrived first maybe 3 weeks ago, and
the white crowns and golden crowns started showing up
about a week and a half ago. The first few days the
Zonotrichia arrived alone or as 'pairs', but didn't
stick around until they achieved 'critical mass' a few
days ago.
The fox sparrow was the dark Pacific or Sooty type.
Nothing else really to report, except the robins seem
to be getting more active and I'm starting to hear
more cedar waxwings again...
good birding,
Alan
