The most enthusiastic birdsongs around us this week are those of the White-Throated Sparrow. It has been so warm that we are surprised they are still here. Shouldn't they be heading for Canada by now?
Not complaining: this is one of the sweetest songs we ever hear.
p.s. Carolina wrens are again feeding their young in the flower-pot nest on our chimney wall. We made a flat tin roof to keep them dry, and they seem to love it there.
And a Robin seems to want to splash in our birdbath all the day long. With this week's heat and today's humidity, we understand.
