Sue Milks and I were successful getting the Eurasian Tree Sparrow this morning. It was challenging to pick out from all the House Sparrows visiting the same feeder along with starlings and cowbirds that it could hide behind. The whole flock would flush at the least provocation (e.g. Blue Jay call) so it was difficult to do a systematic scan of every bird. The whole flock would disappear for 5 to 10 minutes at a time. When the ETSP was seen, one couple had it at the left end of the porch behind the feeders and we had it under the evergreens left of the feeders.
