A white-crowned sparrow visted the front porch feeder this morning. It’s a beautiful songbird with a distinctive white patch over the eyes, not extending below the bill as in the white-throated sparrow. So, that was the grand sighting for this morning. Now the birds have all flown off as the lawn-mowing industry has arrived. There’s a weed-wacker, a walk-behind mower and a riding “gang” mower toiling across the street. This is crazy. A mindless consumption of gasoline, oil and electricity just to have the all-American lawn.
