Hello! Billi Krochuk and I just had a Vesper Sparrow picking grit from the side of the road. It was rather tame, allowing close approach for ten or so minutes, but it disappeared onto a private property about fifteen minutes ago and we haven't seen it since.
The bird was on both sides of Blueline Road, just north of Radical Road. It disappeared west over the front yard of house 145. >From Highway 403, take the exit for Highway 6 south. Turn right at Highway 3, and a ways down turn left onto Blueline Road. Here are coordinates, for folks who would rather drop a pin on Google Maps. 42.784588,-80.238142 Good luck to anyone searching for this fun winter bird.
