The Sweet Song of the Song Sparrow

Even though it was foggy with a cold wind blowing at the beach this morning, the Song Sparrow still sang. The weather seemed to keep most of the birds silent and hidden away, but not the trusty Song Sparrow.  I have been surprised to find it so common here at the beach. It is one of the most consistent birds we hear and see on a daily basis, and it is one of the easier birds to locate when it sings.  It seems to pick a prominent point to sing and then it stays put and belts out it's song repeatedly.
