In the tiny patch of dirt and a bush surrounded by asphalt and a parking lot, 10 English sparrows flitted about looking for food perhaps, but mainly just doing the community sparrow thing...i pointed to them, smiling, "Look!" My coworker poo poohed me, "We have millions of those in India!" I said, "oh they are quite common here too...nothing unusual, but that doesnt make them any less special...."

This weekend my theory that the squirrels were knocking all the birdseed out of the feeder went by the way side. We always get a big feeding right before bad weather during daylight hours, as the clouds roll in and the sky gets dark. This weekend we had some brief bad weather and I noticed about25 starlings came to the feeder! Onliy about 6 managed to sit on the swinging feeder, and the remainder gathered around the base on the ground, and at the secondary garden feeder. One sat proudly utop the feeder pole. The squirrels looked disturbed! That takes a lot. Usually they even sit for the cats til the last minute!

Have you driven through Hartford on I-84 West during rush hour lately? There have been seen on numerous days, thousands upon thousands of crows/starlings in the tree tops along the highway at sunset! Amazing! It was as if they were trapped in a migratory pattern due to the warm temperatures!
