For a short period of time, maybe an hour or so, a flock of House Sparrows came to visit my feeder. At one point I counted 17 of them! I know there are an (over) abundance of these birds but surprisingly, they rarely visit my feeder. Last summer I had a family of them nesting in my neighbors roof but since they had a new roof put on, the sparrows had to find a new home and I haven't seen them since. They fed mostly on the ground while visiting but I did notice a few of them on my feeder. The House Finches gave them a run for their money! There was definitely some bird bantering going on as my regulars did not give them a warm welcome. Then they left and haven't been back since.
