A Song in My Heart

A few song sparrows are back in town. I always love to see them arrive. They're another indicator that springtime is on the way (in spite of evidence to the contrary).

 


They sing a beautiful song that always makes me smile. It's long and complicated and it sounds like they tie it into a knot at the end.


We had snow again over the weekend, so the early arrivals really appreciated the scratch and sunflower seeds I put out for the ground feeders.


Don't you just love that earnest little face? The markings on these diminutive darlings are so distinctive and dramatic, making them easy to identify.
