This morning at 7:30am observed what i believe to be a Clay-colored Sparrow off Niska Rd. in Guelph (Google Maps identifies this dead end street as Sdrd 10).

The bird was singing incessently from the tops of spruce trees immediately beside the parking area. I have compared myself against my field guide and reference shots on the net - so i am fairly confident in the ID. I can share photos later when i have had a chance to process them. Other birds seen were: Eastern Meadowlark, Eastern Phoebe, Eastern Kingbird, Nashville Warbler, Yellow Warbler, Savannah Sparrow, House Finch, Cardinal, Goldfinch, Blue Jays, Canada Geese, Song Sparrow. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live helps you keep up with all your friends, in one place. http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9660826_______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
