On southern end of Hammond Hill, four Fox Sparrow seen at once at our feeder, but no White-throats nor Song. Several dozen junco, but fewer goldfinch than in recent past. Over 100 b'birds: mostly red-wings, several grackles, 1 cowbird, and a few starlings
Sitting at the window in this weather beats going out to watch starving birds.
