I grew up in West Seattle and have been back in the same neighborhood again
for 10 years. I've noticed a rise in House Sparrow numbers in the last 2-3
years. We have an old, thick arborvitae hedge that has become House
Sparrow central. The flock successfully fledged many youngsters this
season. They also use the blackberry, hazelnut,and privet thickets in the
neighborhood.
