"Song Birds" usually describes many members of the Passerine- or Thrush- families of Bird-dom: to count Blue Jays, Crows, and White Breasted Nuthatches among them, is a stretch!



We never saw (or heard) the usually-common Yellow-Rumped Warblers this past season: 'glad Tuftonboro came through!

I'm working on the case of "songbird nesting success" vs. "cigar smoke", but haven't turned up anything as yet.
