American Tree Sparrow Harrison

[Chris]

Thought I would post it here as well as the Monthly Challenge post. Janne saw an American Tree Sparrow today at Harrison Lagoon. First one of the year and Harrison seems like a good location for them.

I walked to the lagoon in the afternoon the first time around the north half I didn't see it but coming back I saw it. I will post the pictures later. Bumped into Bruce and Joanne and they saw 3 Snow Buntings and a Long-tailed Duck which I saw as well. Also present was a Pacific Loon. With the wind they might be present tomorrow.

Here are a few pictures of it. I saw it coming back to my car on the east side of the lagoon. It was with Juncos, I saw a bird among them that didn't have the white on the tail like Juncos had. The flock then flew to the parking lot.

Nice work Janne on finding the Tree Sparrow and nice work relocating it with super photos Chris. Good to see you today. Regards Bruce & Joanne
