Thursday's Bird Watch


The most dependable bird song to hear and enjoy on a daily basis here at Dallas Retirement Village currently is the White-crowned Sparow as is shown here singing his heart out.  He hangs out in the shrubbery of the parking strip of the Jasper Street Entrance to The Lodge.  It's a sure-fire bet when you walk out that door you will hear him sing out.  His purpose is not to entertain you, but instead, impress a female sparrow.  White-crowned Sparrow's nest low in shrubbery, and because they have multiple broods each summer, this particular sparrow is probably working on a second breeding for this season.  During our latest walk through DRV, we heard White-crowned Sparrows singing in 5 different locations in the Village.
