Over here on the (east) coast--truly, are we all that far apart geographically?--fox sparrows <i>leaving</i> are portents of spring (they've been gone for some weeks now), some chippies have been here all winter, and the tree sparrows are just arriving in numbers here as well.<br /><br />How bizarre and wonderful is the world we live in!Wren nests in...https://www.blogger.com/profile/17892263703645385206noreply@blogger.com
