Thanks for link to the video, maeve.

The only wrens I have are Carolina Wrens. I love their songs and scolds.

Also love white-throated sparrows. They winter here and some hang around year round. 99% of the time they scratch around on the ground under the feeders, but this year one or two got adventuresome and mastered one of the feeders.

Have been gradually seeing more Dark-eyed Juncos. Don't know what happened to their population this winter in this neck of the woods. Glad to see more of them.

I do wish I lived on a fly way. Most of the birds here are year round or winter residents. I rarely see or hear species in migration. Oh well. At least I have the opportunity to observe the year round behaviors, molts and feeding patterns of some species.
