Sorry for this belated post as I needed to rebuild a computer this weekend.
On Friday evening about 5 PM, I rediscovered a HARRIS SPARROW in the lawn
behind the park house near the corner of NE 195th St and 120th Ave, NE.
This homestead appears to be acquired by the park and parking out front, but
the lawn with sparrowkin (Golden-crowned, Song, Towhee, Starling and
Red-winged BB) is between the house and the pond. While not a HASP expert
this bird appeared to be a young male in molt with black streaks on chest.
It certainly looked different from the mostly white breasted HASP I last saw
on Jan 1. From here, my wife, 2 dogs, and I walked about 0.5 mile to the
traditional HASP spot and tried for about 15 minutes to see if there was a
second HASP. This sparrow hunt was unsuccessful but certainly hampered by
dogs that would rather be chasing rabbits. I might add that I heard that a
reputable field biology saw 2 HASP at different feeders of the main site
around early March, though I do not believe it was posted on Tweeters. Does
anyone else think they have seen more than one?
