I forgot to post my sighting on Sunday, 1/4, of the Eurasian tree sparrow at about 2 p.m., after a long ever-colder stand of two hours, then a wait in the car which nicely trapped the available sun. With the binoculars in the car to stay at an even temp. and not frost up, the scope positioned outside on the blue tube feeder (I was very grateful to the gentleman of the house who urged focusing on that feeder, promising 'he'll be back') I was able to get four successive nice views of the bird. He/she had previously been reported at 10 a.m. so there seems to have been a four-hour gap between visits. Many thanks to good friend Laura Coble for the instructions for finding that very bird-friendly yard via Hwy. 316 and the hidden Orlando Avenue south.
