The Harris’s Sparrow was at the feeder and on the lawn of the house immediately east of 6547 Ellis Road at 8 –8:30 this morning. The latest Hamilton Study Area record of a bird overwintering at a feeder is May 4, 1972 so the Cambridge bird may stick around for quite a bit longer in this cold (normal?) spring.

This evening Jesse Pakkala and myself decided to stop at the Harris Sparrow location in Cambridge around 6:30pm, on the fluke chance that it was still around. After several minutes of searching with no luck we decided it was time to leave. Sure enough while sitting in the car Jesse spotted the Harris Sparrow sitting out in the open on some bushes east of the small pond (which is across the street from 6547 Ellis Rd.) I managed a poor record shot of this bird. Cheers and good birding,Brett FriedDirections:The bird was across the street from 6547 Ellis Road east of the small pond in the dogwoods.Take exit 286 (Townline Road) north from HWY 401. Take the first right (Ellis Road) and the house is on the right.-- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Hamilton Birders email group.
