Hi all,
After reading Irene's post, I would just like to say that the Harris'
Sparrow is still there. I saw it today at 4:00. It was hanging out in the
fence row that juts out into the field. It associates exclusively with the
White-crowns.

Blenheim On.
Directions:
Take #3 Highway [Talbot Trail ] out of Blenheim twds Cedar Springs.
Choice 1 :---go 1 road past the Erieau Rd. to Gore Rd. . Turn left twds.
Lake Erie.
Travel about 2 km. and you will see the compost pile on your left.
Or, Choice 2---Take the paved road twds. Erieau. About 1/2 way to Erieau
you will
see Bisnett Sideroad. Turn right--S--on Bisnett. Travel about 1km. twds.
Erie Beach.
Just at the outskirts of Erie Beach you will see a dirt road--N---Gore Road.
The compost pile is about 1/2 km. N on this road.
Dirt shoulders are VERY soft just now, this is a busy road, but a good
width.
Please--please stay in your car to observe. Birds are very skittish. If you
"flush"
the birds, you will have to wait possibly 20 min. for their return !
You do have the choice to drive slowly into the driveway there, and turn off
your
engine/ lights. The birds will adjust to your presence in a few minutes.
But , you will
have to move if a delivery truck arrives.
