My feeder was more popular than usual this morning, with handsome chipping sparrows milling about photogenically against the white backdrop. A songlike sparrow sat for a while looking almost lincoln-ish, but flushed before I could get my camera or otherwise convince myself that it wasn't just a song.
En route to work via six-mile creek, the only singers to be heard were two louisiana waterthrushes on opposite sides of the creek, either heedless of the strange weather, or driven to sing by the competition. (The first singer was the traditional strong one of the area, the second was a weaker and shorter variant.)
