There was no sun this morning. A little wet, sloppy snow had fallen last night. Hungry birds were waiting at every feeder and swarmed on the food before I'd walked very far away. When I looked back at the ground feeder, the hungry deer was already licking up the corn. When I put some bread out, the hungry crows were calling to each other to come get it.
Then I heard a sweet singing from over my head. I looked up. In the gray morning light I couldn't see what sort of a bird this was.
But when he sang, I knew right away. If you look at the picture and click here, you can see and hear what I saw and heard.
It's Song Sparrow, of course, being hopeful for Spring.

Jacob says - How did one of the packs of the birds scare away another pack of birds? Did they really? teee heeeee....
Yes, Jacob, they really do chase away other birds - because they all back each other up just like a pack of bullies on a playground. The other birds that they pick on are not in a pack, they are just one at a time coming to eat, but the starlings come all together and just mob the food.
