Found a singing Vesper Sparrow along Rumsey Road (Town of Hector, Schuyler County) this morning and had a nice view of it through binoculars, as well. The sun was behind me, shining on the bird. Lovely! I hadn't seen one in quite a while, so this was a real treat. A Fox Sparrow continues to sing from a nearby hedgerow. I've been hearing it for two weeks.
