Correction!

Sorry, earlier posts labelled one of my birds as a "chickadee." My bird expert Stephanie corrected me -- it's an eastern song sparrow. Apologies to any bird lovers out there.  Larry

Birds of Spring

Sunday was a clear, blue sky day with birds all around. Amazing what you see in your neighborhood if you look carefully.
