Index of Subjects The song sparrows and swallows persist despite the weather but the cardinals in my neighborhood seem to have fallen silent (very infrequently heard apart from their "chip"). Do they stop calling/singing when nesting? I was able to provoke a reaction using a recording earlier in the spring but no longer. The last time I was in Jerry Lawrence Park the ovenbirds were quite active along with the warblers, so no perceptible change there from last year.
