Like numbers of red-winged blackbirds were present with 18. =20 =20 Of note was a vast decrease in the numbers of sparrows from yesterday. The= re was a reversal in species with more savannah sparrows then song sparrows= , when there were few of the first yesterday. There were roughly 30 savann= ah sparrows and 23 song sparrows. A number of savannah sparrows were very = pale making Clarence and I scratch our heads and try to make something else= out of them, such as clay-colored.
