EDM#090- something with wings
I had been hearing a bird this spring, but couldn't see it. After a week or so of hearing it in the morning I was able to see it on a branch. Once I figured out it was a white-crown sparrow I started hearing & seeing them everywhere. I'm pretty sure they migrate to Pennsylvania every year. I never had notice before.
