Today's Bubbler Bird

Yet another sparrow that spends much of its time in Canada, although this species does reside year round in our area, the Swamp Sparrow.

And while it is not the first time we've had this bird, it is not as numerous as the Juncos or the White-throats.

This year we've had at least two in our gardens. There may be more, but we've only seen two at any one time.

And unlike in prior years, where they were one day wonders, we've seen them for a couple of weeks now. Maybe it is an artifact of us being home weekdays, or maybe it is because of the deer fence, and the resultant plant growth. But as with all the other visiting birds, they are welcome to stay as long as they want.
