migrants




Among the migrating birds in the woods this week are a flock of White-throated Sparrows.  They show up in the late autumn on their way south, and in the springtime on their way to nesting grounds in northern Minnesota and Canada.

Their yellow lores make it easy to spot them among the foliage and branches . . .   until the warblers show up.  Some of them have yellow feathers too.
