Fw: feeder birds, Lexington, SC




There was a study in sparrows here yesterday in advance of the cold and
snow.  In one small bare tree there were a song sparrow, two whitethroated,
two chippies, and most exciting, two white crowned--only the second time in
16 years I've had those.

Among the throngs at the backyard feeders today, a day that saw two inches
of snow fall near Twelve Mile Creek in Lexington county, was a lovely red
Fox Sparrow.  At one point today, there was a Pine Warbler, a Downy
Woodpecker, and a Carolina Wren all eating on the same suet cake at the
same moment.  Among yesterday visitors, in the group feeding in advance of
the "snow event", was a Rusty Blackbird.
