I love the end of the year when it gives me a chance to look back through the year. This year, I really started paying attention to the birds I have around here, and thanks to TexWisGirl, I think I have them all labeled. I will admit, any small brownish bird that I don’t know, I label a sparrow. Feel free to correct me.
