I haven’t tried to count them, but they’re all around—under the feeders, foraging on the lawn, and flitting in the trees. Right now, except for robins, I think they’re outnumbering everything. They are fun to watch!</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Pat Grainger</div><div dir="ltr">Port Townsend</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On May 8, 2024, at 9:22 AM, Joan Miller via Tweeters <tweeters@u.washington.edu> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">Hi Tweets,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">Yesterday was a record for my yard! I counted seven white-crowned sparrows feeding under my seed feeder at the same time. I have never seen more than a single one, maybe once a year, in my yard in 17 years. Then I spotted a Wilson's Warbler, who flitted around my small tree briefly. Anyone else experiencing a bounty of white crowns? They are a delight to see.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">Joan Miller</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">West Seattle</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">jemskink at gmail</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div></div>
