[Laura Jennings McCall <lmccall@xxxxxxxx>]

I drove over to Elora (Lincoln Co.) today to look for the 
Black-throated Sparrow, but alas! I had no luck.  I had been there 
about 10 minutes when the chainsawing and loading of logs resumed (at 
about 12:30), so I guess my timing was bad.  I did see lots of Song 
Sparrows, though, and a Brown Thrasher, 2 R-T Hawks, 2 Eastern 
Bluebirds, 1 W-B Nuthatch (heard, did not see), 1 Carolina Wren, 1 
Red-bellied Woodpecker, 1 Great Blue Heron, 1 Accipter (I think 
Cooper's), and 1 Loggerhead Shrike (on Red House Road).  There was 
actually quite a lot of bird activity before all the noise started, but 
I wasn't able to ID everything quickly enough--I have a hard time with 
sparrows!
I believe that someone did see the bird earlier this morning, so for 
anyone who is pondering whether to go look for this little celebrity 
sparrow, I think it's still around.
