Gail, The House Sparrows were constantly picking on this bird, but it took it in stride. It was there at least two days. I looked for it briefly this morning and didn't see it. If it does return, I will get the word out in case anyone wants to see it. The beautiful winter plumage would be worth seeing for those who have only seen breeding birds.
