I ordered that book a few days ago, Bonnie. How do you like it?

It is the white crowned sparrows! I finally caught 2 of them red- handed 
(beaked?) today.  They've never done this before. Wonder why after 10
years they decided they needed greens in their diet??? They have plenty of bird seed. Now to figure out how to cover things to keep them out so 
my plants can grow!

We have lots of cats in the area. Besides the 4 rescues that are
indoors, there are at least 4 ferals stopping by to eat in the shed.
We also have rabbits. They're very good at making themselves invisible 
unless you see them move. I've nearly stepped on them without seeing
them.

I've never seen a rabbit here.  Can't imagine they'd survive the
neighborhood cats.
Hummm about the sparrows....
