I have been meaning to write in and report that
over-wintering Song Sparrows have started singing in Halifax. I
heard the first one in the quadrangle at King's College on Thursday,
28 January. (That was the day before the snow/ice storm and the drop
in temperatures from which we have now emerged.) He gave a full,
rolicking, sustained song, keeping it up for several minutes. No
tentative, subdued "warming up" singing there! Despite the cold, I
heard the same bird sing on a very sunny morning a week later (4
February) and I have heard it while heading to work nearly every day
since then. Last week I heard one sing from my back yard for the
first time, and he is now singing every morning. Definitely lifts the spirits!
Cheers,
Patricia L. Chalmers

Hey Peter,
Thanks for that timely morale-booster ....just as I was beginning
to despair. I REALLY hope you have it right. I will keep my ears open
for song sparrows singing and robins a-hopping.
