Day 17.072: My contributions

My contributions to yesterday's bird photos were a new bird investigating the brush pile (the day after we'd submitted our March survey about its use), and a bird that caused a good deal of excitement among the local crows.

Not a great photo, but it's a song sparrow. The first sparrow of any kind we've seen here since before the winter.

As best I can tell, this is an immature red-tailed hawk. The crows were very unhappy he was here. The cowbirds just stayed at the feeder completely oblivious.
