I stopped by the East End in Portland this morning on the way to work. I
figured I'd check out the upper dirt trail for sparrows before going
down to the waterfront. I never made it down there before having to
continue to work. As I approached the trail I realized there was a lot
of movement so I stopped to scan and saw that the path was covered with
sparrows. I moved up to the end of the path for a closer look. Most of
them were White-throated with some Song & White-crowned. As I stood
there watching they came down the path toward me with more coming in
from behind them. They continued to the end of the path & into the
bushes following them along the edge of the parking lot & over to the
other side of the road. As long as I stood still they weren't bothered
by me but they didn't like the dog that came down the path.
I figure there were about 100+- White-Throated, 6 Whites-crowned & a
dozen or so Song. A bit different from the dozen total I saw there
yesterday.
