Having read the guides, males in a flock of American Tree Sparrows at the Stevenson Road Compost Facility are singing--- "in late winter before the spring migration" (All About Birds) . An unfamiliar song for me, but very sweet. The flock was hanging in the low shrubbery at the two-track that goes north where the road into the mounds makes an abrupt right/east turn. I have encountered a flock of 10+ along the drive several times this winter.
Not a glorious mass of goose and swan, but extremely spring-y!
