>From Donna Lorello: 10/25 - Branford yard birds - about 5:30pm - TONS of white-throated sparrows. I estimate 50 birds or better covering my entire back yard sifting through fallen leaves for little pickings. Mixed in were some Juncos - both males and females (~ 10 birds), a hermit thrush, and a few white crowned sparrows. Two red-winged blackbirds were ground feeding in the front yard (one adult male, one juvenile male). Just a question regarding tomorrow for the common ground dove - will people be visiting despite the business activities that will be going on? I was thinking of swinging by tomorrow after work - but if it would be best, I'll wait until Saturday morning. Also - I'd be happy to make a donation of some seed. Is Dori using regular mixed seed or something in particular to entice the dove in for feeding?
