There are hundreds if not thousans of white throated sparrows here. They are in the trees everywhere peeping. Last night one even sang it's entire song. They all all around and on my feeders too.

Today the number is far greater. I have never seen anything like this here. I have seen numbers similar but only in different states like High Island Texas and Crane Creek State Park in Ohio. Interestingly enough, I thought I would see other types of sparrows among the white-throated, but not one. I also have lots of purple finces and juncos. Linda Becker Montpelier, VT
