Hi All
</div>
<div>
Between pictures on Facebook and  birds in the yard I have seen more
</div>
<div>
of Fox Sparrows than any year that I can remember perhaps with the exception of 1950.
</div>
<div>
However one has me confused - it looks like a Fox Sparrow below but the back of
</div>
<div>
its head and neck was blueish grey. Maybe a little smaller than most.
</div>
<div>
Has anyone any knowledge of this color variation?
</div>
<div>
There was also what used to be a Myrtle Warbler in the yard but I guess it
</div>
<div>
has another name now.
</div>
<div>
I have not been across the province since fall but there is probably less snow
</div>
<div>
along the Atlantic Coast than in the interior. This would cause the Fox Sparrows, Woodcocks
</div>
<div>
and other birds to migrate near the coast and is why we see so many.
</div>
<div>
Enjoy the snow while it lasts - the black flies are close at hand.
</div>
