Small Brown Birds

[poliphilo]

Looked out the window first thing and there was a crowd of small brown birds around the feeder on the front lawn. I fetched my glasses and sorted them into robins and others. There were two robins- not often that you see more than one at a time- and at least some of the others were sparrows. We had a panic a few years back about sparrows disappearing- and then for a while it was a red-letter day if you spotted one- but they do now seem to be picking up numbers again.
