(February 2, 2024) — Hugh Law of Higganum took these photos in his backyard during the recent snow we had.
He made a blind and waited for the birds to get used to him and return.
Using the Merlin app from the Cornell Ornithology Lab, he was able to identify the white and brown speckled bird (photo above) as a Fox Sparrow. It is considered rare for our area.
