I had no clear idea where to go today, so the truck pointed itself to Sands Road and I went along.
Clear and sunny skies looked promising, but I didn’t see the variety of birds I’d hoped for. I was especially surprised to see no raptors in this perfect hunting ground.
I did get a few sparrows, and it was a decent day all in all.
White Throated Sparrows are abundant wherever I go.
Song Sparrows are common most of the year.
Field Sparrows are a little harder to find.
The American Goldfinch in Winter is not as striking as his Spring and Summer counterpart.
The Northern Mockingbird can often be seen singing from the top of a tree.
The Carolina Wren can be heard in most wooded areas.
I’m not seeing Dark Eyed Juncos in large numbers yet.
