Hi all,
I've enjoyed the observations about House Sparrows, which certainly rank
high on birders' most despised lists. Some data seems to suggest that they
are in a long-term decline in Ohio, for what that's worth. I personally
admire the tough little animals, and had written some thoughts about House
Sparrows, and posted a few photos, on my blog last January:
