Thanks for your report James!=20

Spring is in the air. And this morning I actually saw the year's first Purp=
le at my feeder! First time I can recall where they were rare in the winter=
.=C2=A0
Also the first time I've had two overwintering Song Sparrows...at least one=
 of them is a singing male, and I know it's a young one because he was real=
ly mangling the song in the Fall, and still was this Spring, up until recen=
tly when he seemed to have a breakthrough and "get it." The two of them eas=
ily made it through the coldest months. I wonder if it will be a trend, or =
if they were in one of the last batches hatched out in late August and just=
 didn't feel ready to migrate? I was seeing some very juvenile Songs even i=
n October, and was wondering about their chances.
