              There are a fair number of Song Sparrows around our neighbour=
hood, (Glenwood Avenue); I saw one White-throated Sparrow a week or so, ago=
. Mind you, Starlings, which are around here year round, are very common, a=
nd are seen in large numbers... they are certainly prolific breeders, that&=
#39;s for sure!
