Winter sparrows, a reminder that California does have seasons.
Some transplanted Easterners dismiss California’s idea of seasons: do we really call 50 degree temperatures and a bit of rain winter weather? But of course we have seasons, and to observe the magnitude of the underlying change all you have to do is pay a little attention to nature. If you want to see the seasons in nature, I would recommend looking at birds. And if you want to see the seasons in birds, I would direct your attention to today’s subjects — the winter sparrows.

"Great minds think alike" or so the saying goes. In October, I wrote a similar article for trail guides at Mission Trails Regional Park which was recently published in the Mission Times Courier, a local community newspaper: https://missiontimescourier.com/birds-signal-changing-seasons-at-32-degrees/
