[Naturens] Re: Tree Sparrow

We have had at least one tree sparrow in to sample our ground-broadcast bird seed any time the snow hits. Our regulars have included whitethroats, song sparrows, juncos (not many), starlings, and blue jays (increasing). Noy a stunning array of species, and starlings aside, abundances haven't been impressive. Yesterday, during the storm, a couple of redwings arrived. They stood their ground against the blue jays. That was nice to see! This is all at our place on Wyman Road, South of Yarmouth. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Payzant [mailto:peter@payzant.net] Sent: January 15, 2022 10:52 AM To: naturens(a)chebucto.ns.ca Subject: [Naturens] Tree Sparrow The bad weather overnight brought an unusual visitor: We have an American Tree Sparrow beneath our bird feeders today. This is the first we have seen in several years here.
