A Surprise Visit ! My feeder awaits its visitors. I, being a voyeur, await as well. So many White-crowned Sparrows this year! Where are the Golden-crowns? I continue to wait and write by the window. Suddenly two smaller strangers Arrive for a second, grab a few seeds, Then quickly flit off to the hedge. Contemplating my bird I.D. repertoire, I just indeed had two Yellow Warbler visitors-- Such a treat for an ornithologist-- Well, at least for a bird watcher. Frank Maurer 17 February 2024 1115 Hours.
