[Ontbirds]Harris' Sparrow at Erie Beach

[Keith Burk]

Hi all,

After reading Irene's post, I would just like to say that the Harris' 
Sparrow is still there. I saw it today at 4:00. It was hanging out in the 
fence row that juts out into the field. It associates exclusively with the 
White-crowns.

Directions:
Take #3 Highway  [Talbot Trail  ]  out of Blenheim twds Cedar Springs.
Choice 1 :---go 1 road past the Erieau Rd. to Gore Rd. . Turn left twds. 
Lake Erie.
Travel about 2 km. and you will see the compost pile on your left.
Or,  Choice 2---Take the paved road twds. Erieau.  About 1/2 way to Erieau 
you will
see Bisnett Sideroad.  Turn right--S--on Bisnett. Travel about 1km. twds. 
Erie Beach.
Just at the outskirts of Erie Beach you will see a dirt road--N---Gore Road.
The compost pile is about 1/2 km. N on this road.
Dirt shoulders are VERY soft just now,  this is a busy road, but a good 
width.
Please--please stay in your car to observe.  Birds are very skittish. If you 
"flush"
the birds, you will have to wait possibly 20 min. for their return !
You do have the choice to drive slowly into the driveway there, and turn off 
your
engine/ lights.  The birds will adjust to your presence in a few minutes. 
But , you will
have to move if a delivery truck arrives.
