https://youtu.be/61jJ9y2rjjM Hello folks: Here is the video of the Black-throated Sparrow that was found by TIM LOGAN at the Darlington Fields on Friday.https://youtu.be/61jJ9y2rjjM
As far as I know, It was not seen today Saturday. But do not despair. It is most likely still in the area.Good luck if looking for it tomorrow.Please follow Frank's advise below and the directions by Tyler Hoar. Luc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!For those looking and who haven’t seen one before, Black-throated Sparrow is noticeably smaller than the numerous White-crowned, White-throated and Song Sparrows with which it was associating. It is a very drab, grey-brown backed sparrow with whitish breast and belly but look for the very distinctive facial pattern. It can hide amazingly well as it feeds in the grass so be patient and stay a bit distant from the fence so the birds can come out and feed comfortably. Good luck for those who head out to Courtice tomorrow. Directions: Take Courtice Rd exit off 401, proceed south on Courtice Rd for 100m, turn left on Megawatt Dr for 1km, turn right/south on Crago Rd for 200m, you will see the soccer fields and picnic pavilion on the left.
