I heard my first Fox Sparrow of the spring on April 13 on Cottonwood Drive in Peterborough. At our feeder, we now see Chipping Sparrows, Song Sparrows and American Tree Sparrows almost daily. White-throated Sparrows should arrive this weekend on the south winds, and White-crowned should be here by month’s end. Drew Monkman
