    Northern NJ first Juncos spotted today

    The last couple of days have seen the titmouse brigade and chicadees, but tonight I heard the familiar chirp and sure enouogh, there they were. I thought last year they were early, but they are even earlier this year, I think. They are one of my favorites, reminding me if Easter eggs.

    Northern NJ strange looking Sparrow?

    OK, so I have seen thousands of sparrows, but this one has been making his way here everyday with the current flock of fledglings. I have never seen a sparrow with white wing bars.
