This morning around 5:30, going out to get the paper, I heard a new song in the neighborhood, I am not sure but I think this is the mystery bird I used to hear across the street when we had a meadow turning into a small forest, and which is now a 3-story log house and graveled parking lot for 5 vehicles, including two RVs. The mystery bird sings a varied melodic tune, and its incisive like the white-crowned sparrow's song, I think it is probably a sparrow of some kind but I'm never able to see it clearly.
Yesterday we were in Anchor Point near the bluff and a swampy area, heard a number of golden-crowned sparrow calls. One of my favorites.
Also, I found out that one of our dear friends' daughters, age 9, is becoming a fascinated birder. I have been taking her and her sister out birding, as well as showing them pictures in the birdbook and talking about our backyard birds. She now has a new bird book and has been marking the birds she's seen. She is very excited about it. As am I!
