I've both seen and heard a few.
Rather an odd song in Morningside Park.
Not the typical Song Sparrow song but close to it.
Looked like a Song Sparrow but was far away.
There is a resident Song Sparrow at the Guildwood Inn in Scarborough.
Saw it today too.

Also heard a Red-winged Blackbird calling (repeatedly) "salt peanuts, salt peanuts"
Reminded me of Dizzy Gillespie. Never heard that call before by a RWBB.
