Subject: Re: Backyard Tree Sparrow MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain MDOsprey, It seems that the snow-covered ground encourages a number of unexpected birds to approach the feeders. Our feeders area about 6 feet off the ground and they are in a small, un-wooded, townhouse yard (some trees nearby though). This weekend, we a= lso had the TREE SPARROW visiting the yard, but this time it ended up fightin= g off the House Sparrows for a spot on the feeder. Along with the Tree Sparrow, we also had 3 TOWHEE's (2 male, 1 female); b= oth males made regular trips to the feeder as well.
