I relocated the Lark Sparrow yesterday at 3:45 pm just as I was about to give up. It was inside a shrub along the east-west fence beside a pile of discarded industrial rubber. It took about 30 minutes of searching in a small area. I did not inspect it but there appears to be a functioning

The Lark Sparrow was easily seen coming into seed placed on a mound just west of the first two first gulf trailers along the gravel path. Nice bird in a strange location. An easy tick although someone has taken up residence in a tent about 50 feet away. >From the southbound Don Valley

Hello everyone, The Lark Sparrow is still braving the cold here in Toronto. It was foraging on the pavement on the opposite side of the fence from the pathway, near a red shed.  We parked on Villiers, and walked north just past Lakeshore. The pathway the bird has been seen along is just right

Despite the heavy snowfall the Lark Sparrow continues at the foot of the Don Valley Parkway. Today it was harder to find as it spent most of its time concealed behind a large snow drift. It was foraging in the dried weeds near the yellow and red fire hydrant that is blocked off by rusted

Took 45 and 5 observers but just re-found it. Bird is on a private gravel roadway inside a barbed fenced off industrial property. Well viewed from railbed access on north side of Lakeshore. This is about 250m east of Don Roadway. No need to trespass! Phone died in cold! Andrew Keaveney
