Thanks to those who responded. I can happily say that I found some Eurasian Tree Sparrows on Tama Road, along a marshy/reedy area approximately 1-2.5 miles East of Co. Rd. 99. First sighting was at 9:22 AM and I found a nice spot where a collection of ashes were growing that I got some pictures of an individual at 9:45.
This particular species, I think, is relatively interesting when you consider the populational history and the implications for small population demographics (especially after a relatively large range expansion from a starting population of 20 individuals).
