We had our first fox sparrow on the lonicera sempervirens yesterday.

Lucky you Rebek. It has been years since I've seen a fox sparrow.

I had to look it up as I'd never seen one before.

I had to look them up too...because I think I've been getting them...although I'm still not sure that is what I have.

Yesterday I saw a white crowned sparrow and an eastern towhee at my feeders. My bluebird houses are all cleaned out so the birds can huddle in them at night to stay warm.

And I worry that it will be 6 tonight with a wind chill of 0. Brrr indeed! Makes me feel sorry for the birds. How do they keep their feet from freezing?

Not a bird but just now I saw a red fox running across the field, over the lane into the woods and then back over the lane again with a friend, the two disappearing into the tall grass next to the sycamore grove. In the ten plus years we've been here we've never seen a fox, they are so fast!!!
