| The Harris Sparrow was seen again today for brief periods of time at one of three feeders in the area. It seems to travel with the flock of House Finches and House Sparrows. I wanted people to know that the bird was still around I regret to say that there was also an incident here with an individual who became belligerent with birders and with the home owner of the feeder where the bird was originally found. There are no words to express my deep disappointment in how in the past months we have now had several incidents of people trespassing, overstepping boundaries and making people who are kind enough to let people into their homes and their properties only to be treated rudely. Unfortunely is is only a few who ruin it for all. Birdwatching is a hobby for people to enjoy. Please respect the rules and ethical guidelines by which we are familiar through the OFO code of ethics. I will post again if the bird is seen tomorrow. Please respect people's property lines and if you are asked to do so please leave. If you have any comments, please email me privately.
