After an absence from the yard the day before the Golden-crowned Sparrow appeared again today and sang it's winter Oh-dear-me song for the first time today. I could just barely hear it below the din of lawnmowers in the neighborhood. The Golden-crowned Sparrow first appeared in the yard on March 4, 2008.Update: The Golden-crowned Sparrow sang again on April 1, 2008 for its last appearance in the yard and moving on..
