This is about the last bird I expected to see on the North Shore. At first glance I thought, "Ugh, house sparrow, there goes the neighborhood." I think the nearest ones are usually in Two Harbors. But then I got a look at the russet crown and those black cheek spots! Dig out Sibley to be sure. The bird came back a couple times during the afternoon, but always flew away almost immediately. We finally got a couple pictures about 6 p.m., and saw the bird again just before 7. If it stays around until tomorrow, I'll post it, but there's a strong southwest breeze, so by tomorrow it might be in Thunder Bay.
Does anyone know where I can get slide film developed fairly quickly? Haven't used that camera for quite a while - film is even outdated. Had no luck getting a digital photo.
