I saw a single American Tree Sparrow in a flock of about a dozen Field
Sparrows at 11:30 this morning (11/13/07) in the Meadow at the Blandy
Experimental Farm in Clarke County, VA. The flock was near the
Rattlesnake Spring area. Also in the area were about 10 White-crowned,
many White-throated, and many Song Sparrows. Red-breasted Nuthatches
are still very common in the conifers near the Quarters and around the
feeders at the Learning Center. Cedar Waxwings and American Robins are
filling up on crab apples in the Rosaceae collection.
