For most of the winter I only rarely have had a Tree Sparrow at my feeder, and then only one at a time. In the last 3 days I have had several, reaching 15 at a time today. I have a rat infestation around the feeders. Yesterday I say the rear end of a raptor leaving my door step with a rat and its tail dangling in the raptors talons. Yeah. A pair of ravens and a pair of red-tails, probably in courthsip flight, along Coddington Rd. near German Cross yesterday. Good birding, John --
