Again, the sparrows arrived at my bird feeders this morning in a mob.
["A gaggle of geese? A murder of crows?"]
There were too many to count.
Last fall I waited for a few weeks for birds to find my feeders. Now I wonder how soon I’ll have to buy another bag of mix.
According to ‘opundo’ by R. Sutcliffe, a mob of sparrows is actually called a host. Trust me to gaggle on a word or murder it.
Three pairs of juncos (a congregation, volary, dissimulation or parcel) arrived later and found the seed on the ground.
["Junco says - What you lookin' at?": photos GH]
I thought, hey, a parcel has arrived.
No I didn’t. Just kidding.
I called them an even half dozen.

More bird watching here.
A chain of bobolinks, perhaps?
