<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Tweeters, </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have enjoyed reading people’s observations of odd bird behavior during this cold snap.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My story relates to Fox Sparrows. For the most part FOSP in my yard keep a low profile at the edge of the woods. The past few days they have joined my regular back yard birds around the feeder. Most of the time I see a single bird but lately
3 have been foraging in the wood chips under my sunflower seed feeders. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This morning I observed a FOSP flatten its breast against the frozen chips (as if incubating) then step back and pick food up from the surface it had just defrosted.</p>
