MA - yard sparrows in Gill in December



 White-throated Sparrows - Gill yard, Franklin Co., MA. Decemeber 10th, 2013.
Present daily in our yard with five-ten individuals present regularly. 


 Fox Sparrow - Gill yard, Franklin Co., MA. Decemeber 10th, 2013.
Slightly unexpected in December, this bird had a broken leg and spent December 8th - 18th visiting our feeders. It didn't appear on the 19th and I think may have succumbed after a series of extremely cold mid-December nights. 


 American Tree Sparrow - Gill yard, Franklin Co., MA. Decemeber 10th, 2013.
Another daily visitor to the yard, numbers fluctuate from two to fifteen individuals.


Dark-eyed Junco - Gill yard, Franklin Co., MA. Decemeber 10th, 2013.
The most common and frequent visitor to the feeders with up to twenty daily.
