Thrush season


Hermit thrush season came and went.  They were numerous while they were here, but their time was short.  We share with the neighbors a grapevine they're particularly devoted to.

Now it's the sparrows' turn.  The last few days I've seen flocks of white-throated sparrows, song sparrows and juncos, all eating weed seeds from the ground.  It's a fat season for them.  Here's a song sparrow.
