They're back!

Yes!!!!!!!!! The whitecrowned sparrows are back!!!!!!!!!!!
Saw a mixed flock of sparrows under the oak. Checked with the binocs. For sure some adult whitecrowns, maybe some immatures, and a fox sparrow.
The spotted wing drosophila are back too. First noticed them about Sept 19, but I'm less excited about them. Saw some "immatures" in a strawberry and confirmed their presence by setting out the traps again. And btw, apple cider vinegar does not work. Use the yeast sugar water mixture.
