Seems rather late for a fox sparrow, but I had one in my yard today. It has something wrong with its right foot. I snapped a photo through the back patio door: http://www.pbase.com/image/120224180 .
I also have two male northern flickers coming to the feeder. There's a white-breasted nuthatch roosting in my bluebird box, where I have a camera mounted. He has been defending it from curious chickadees, and I noticed he enters pretty early, right around 4:10 pm, while many other birds are still out and about. -- Liz Stanley Bloomington, MN [email protected] Backyard weather and feedercam: http://www.overlookcircle.org/ Photo gallery: http://www.pbase.com/gymell/liz_favorites Follow me on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/lizmstanley ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
