[ValleyNature] fox, tree, white-crowned sparrows, and cardinals

[James W. Wolford]

APR. 7, 2009 - A WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW and an AM. TREE SPARROW, plus  
at least 3 WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS, are still at my feeders.

This afternoon Judy Tufts came to our home to deliver our Blomidon  
Naturalists Society newsletter, and she heard our FOX SPARROW SINGING  
next-door, and also heard TWO SINGING CARDINALS, one of them close to  
home and one more distant -- I almost wrote two MALES, BUT then I  
recalled that FEMALE CARDINALS are reputed to SING, too, although I  
don't know their quality or frequency of doing so (thanks, Judy!, for  
your delivery and for your sensitive ears).  This evening we had a  
male right at our house and singing in close views, which was very nice.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
