7:30 pm and the air is full of sound... The Crowned Sparrows have taken over the yard and the feeders and fill the evening with their songs. We were out cleaning up the front yard this morning and did not get a very warm reception from the birds. They did a whole lot of complaining cause we were too close to the feeders. After some yard work we took a drive out to the marshland and did some more birding, saw lots of ducks, geese, hawks and Coots. Our bonus was seeing a small herd of Pronghorn Antelope, a Great Blue Heron and three Cranes. In the foreground is Ladd Marsh and in the background is Mt. Fanny.
