This morning, bright and early, our Sweet Springs breeding bird survey team kicked off our 10th year of recording breeding activity at SSPreserve. As usual, our first surveyors of the season were greeted by the sound of singing!!. Songs of White-crowned Sparrows, Oak Titmouse, Song Sparrows and Dark-eyed Juncos were perhaps most commonly heard this morning.  Most prominent because of both frequency and volume were the singing Common Yellowthroats.
