The absence of Song Sparrows from my suburban, Centennial yard has bemused me since I moved here in March 2016. On one hand, this bird doesn't seem to prefer yards and feeders in my area all that much (although Ben Sampson's yard, farther east than mine, seems to be a veritable Song Sparrow

I was there yesterday, 2017-11-1. There were much fewer ducks. I met two women who had a scope and hadn't seen much along the south shore so we focused on the North Shore. Near the damn I saw a Merlin, Prairie Falcon, Eastern Bluebird, Mountain Bluebird along with a Red-breasted Merganser,
