The White-throated Sparrows seemed to spend a little more time in the depths of the wildlife gardens. They were in there busy all day.

The back half of the wildlife gardens is largely very shady. But this White-throated Sparrow perched just perfectly in the only bright area available.
Maybe it's the same WTS that was so photogenic yesterday?

White-crowned Sparrow
They've been around for a few days... joining the other species of Sparrows in the feeding party. There are millions of seeds from the Birch trees so there's no shortage.

Here's a couple of the many White-throated Sparrows that are still around... foraging for seeds in the wildlife gardens. This is their favourite spot. It's easier to pick seeds off the path than having to forage through the organic debris and leaf litter.

A couple of Dark-eyed Juncos turned up to feed in the wildlife gardens... with a good House Sparrow size comparison - about the same size.

Aphids in your gardens? Consider yourself lucky!
All sorts of migratory birds will visit to feed on them. A few days ago it was a Tennessee Warbler and for the last few days it has been a pair of Ruby-crowned Kinglets.

A few of the 100s of Turkey Vulture flying high over Parkdale today. The roof peak in some of the photos is my house. All the photos are taken from my front yard. They just kept coming...
