Just had 2 American Tree Sparrows in the mitigated wetland. I know this is a species that some of you need for your year lists. The birds were on the left side of the walkway, just before the riffle, in a dead tree. They responded readily to pishing and perched relatively motionless for a good bit. I was able to get several photos.
