Hi Tweeters,

Michael Price about Fox Sparrows:

Sounds to me like an idea for an interesting bird outing. But before I go
into the woods, a question of general relevance:
- would a find be of any importance
- would there any special precautions apply in this case (besides not to
lead predators to nests, not to prevent normal feeding cycles)

I guess the first obstacle will be to find ANY Fox Sparrow...

Anybody else interested in??
