Title: Tree sparrow, Downsview
Post by: Napper on November 13, 2019, 02:41:50 PM

Yesterday around noon I spotted an American Tree sparrow at Downsview on the fence along the rail line. There is still a Northern Mocking bird in the same area.

Monday there were a few D.E Junco's hanging around the facility that I work at.

Spotted D.E. Junco's in Milton two weeks ago, and in Port Colborne last weekend.

Burrr it's cold for November.

Finally, an Am. Tree sparrow!
There used to be lots of them.
Barely saw any of them last winter and have not spotted
a single one so far this year. Not good.

Finally saw an Am. Tree sparrow in the backyard. First time in a couple of years.
There was only one yesterday but have not seen anything today, not even juncos.
