The tree sparrow is still being seen at Craig Corcoran's front feeders, see address below. Video taken. On behalf of the "passionate" birding community, I would like to thank Craig and his family, Gerry Shemilt, for being so patient with impatient birders/listers., that even leave very expensive Swarowski scopes behind!! The discovery of this bird is a lovely touching story of pure SEREDEMPITY or coincidences.... Craig daughter is visiting from one of the southern states and Grandma Gerry Shemilt, long standing birder from Toronto, visit her in Niagara-on-the-lake....so Craig puts out some extra feed at the front feeders, and ... Granddaughter, from usa, says granma there a different bird at the feeders, grandma looks and lo and behold..Eurasian Tree Sparrow is discovered! What a nice story...well done Gerry, Craig. And granddaughter.. To all of you thank you. Between 10:02 and 10:35, the bird showed at least a dozen times. Still very skittish. Video and pics taken Best run, I am baby sitting!
