Unusual bird around feeder today...it sat in a stunted cedar tree for quite some time...a song sparrow. This is the first I ever recall around my feeder. Since we are located in the woods, I found this to be exciting. I also have finally seen a brown creeper today...it usually is a frequent visitor since Thanksgiving to our log feeder. Also had a barred owl flying off a flocked branch in the falling anow yesterday. A beautiful sight adding to the muffled silence of the snow then to be interrupted by upset chickadees by its presence.
