white-crowned sparrow, green heron



Dear Folks;

Here at the farm yesterday I had a male White-Crowned Sparrow at a feeder
briefly. This is fairly late even for Alleghany County.

Then, a short time later, a green heron perched in a small silver maple
over one of the feeders, staying there and squawking intermittently for
about an hour. Neat new feeder bird!

Tree swallow numbers here are far down from those of several years ago,
with only five or six pairs nesting in bluebird boxes (18 pairs in'96).
