Re: [Maine-birds] Field sparow

Hi Chip,

Also have had one at Babson Creek here on MDI for a few years .... have not heard it yet. Last year it as actively calling all spring and early summer.   He needs a mate so send any female Field Sparrows down east!!

One Field Sparrow has been coming to my feeder station to eat millet here on 198 Pertville Rd, Sedgwick for the last 3 days.  The last one that I had here was on April 25, 2007.  These are the only 2 sightings that I have recorded in Sedgwick while living here since 1999.  The south side of Blue Hill Mnt. is the closest nesting location that I am aware of, although we have not seen or heard this species for the last two years in this location.  I do remember Leda Beth Gray reporting having heard one down at the Great Meadow here in Sedgwick several years ago.  Again as I recall this was during the spring time migration when she was scouting for her birdathon.  As far as I know this location is at the northern terminus of their normal distribution.  Both of my sightings have only been during the heavy spring time migration of sparrows.  To find this species regularly I have to travel in a southward direction from Sedgwick.  If anyone is interested in receiving a jpeg of this bird send me a line.
