[CT Daily] 11/05/2007 HARRIS'S SPARROW

[Roy Harvey]

 From Luke Tiller, Penny Solum, etc:
11/05 - Wilton, Allen's Meadow -- HARRIS'S SPARROW; (8:55 AM) in the
weedy field bordering the community gardens, in and around the
scattered shrubs (Autumn Olive?) there.  (11:55am) continues to put on
a performance.  The bird is currently in the shrubs to the left of the
grassy mound. It's amazing how cooperative this bird has been for both
birders and photographers, it appears to me that given a little space
the bird is really not at all fazed by human presence.  (4:45pm) the
bird appeared to be settling in for the night.
