Oh wow!!!! They come with the worst weather dont they. Great news, but good gosh its cold. Boiling water in the iced over bird bath this morning and its iced again.
A good house sparrow is a dead house sparrow.
[ LaterI am worried about them being too cold- last year arrived in Baton Rouge 2-22 and this year arrived per scout study on 1-11? That’s about 5 weeks early!
Anyone experienced this concern- and how should I prepare in East Texas?
