Has the sparrow been seen lately? I will be passing by the area on Friday
on my way to Kitchener from Ottawa.
Thanks

Hello Ontbirders,
I arrived at the pathway on Gowling Terrace at 7:30am today and didn't
immediately see any birds at the seed. I waited for about 15 minutes
before moving to the fenceline at Kearns and the pond, watching the other
pile of seed in the NW corner of the park area (completely fenced off for
construction). After another 30 minutes of waiting and watching I decided
for one last try back at the pathway on Gowling. I stayed in the car as
the juncos and House Sparrows were quite skittish. After about 5 minutes
the star of the show, the adult Harris's Sparrow (in winter plumage)
showed itself for a bit - the birds are very skittish so if you can manage
viewing from the car it might be best.
Also dropped in at JC Safdington park in Mississauga but the strong SE
wind and huge waves made viewing next to impossible, no luck on the
Western Grebe or any Grebe species there.
Regards & good birding,

DIRECTIONS:
Gowling Terrace is found off James Snow Parkway just north of Derry Rd.
Enter west off James Snow at Waldie Ave and turn left on Kearns Drive, you
will see the fenced off area of the pond on your left - Gowling Terrace
runs off Kearns. The pathway on Gowling is between #s 1623 & 1625.
JC Saddington park is at the foot of Mississauga Rd at Lake Ontario.
