I was at my garden plot digging some vegetables and also trying to get a good picture of Goldfinch. I found a House Wren in my plot. Several Savannahs sparrows, many young Song sparrows, a Field Sparrow, a Common Yellowthroat, a Indigo Bunting, a Sharp-shinned Hawk attacking a Red-tailed hawk several time before moving off on its own business. Yesterday I found a Lincoln's Sparrow in the same area. I also find that there many more House Sparrows this year.
Then I stopped at Bee lab (Liddel), I found a sign saying dog walkers to park on the other side of the road. I did a quick check to see if there were any goldfinches, but instead I found a Mockingbird churring, Rose-breasted Grosbeak chinking, and a Magnolia Warbler feeding oblivious to my presence, but the Catbird was annoyed. There was a sparrow in the thicket that never came out.
