Tweeters,
I took some time out to walk around our property before the rains settled in. The weather was mild (54degF). Light rain started to fall about 11:10. Highlight was the WHITE-THROATED SPARROW singing from the hedgerow to the west of the house. Have heard it for the last week and I finally managed to record it. This is likely the same bird that has been here since early November 2024.
