29 March 2011, White's Lake, HRM

There were strong northwest winds on Sunday and Monday, so I was 
surprised that most of my Fox Sparrow flock chose Sunday night to 
continue their migration northward, despite being in the face of 
advese winds..  Yesterday morning we were not greeted by the two male 
Fox Sparrows singing away, and there was but a single bird remaining, 
presumably a female.   And no sign of her yet today.

But the Fox Sparrows are always welcome.   Next up: Purple Finches?

Cheers,

Blake
