The Elora BLACK-THROATED SPARROW was seen this morning at around 10 am. It perched up nicely in the browner brush pile just right of the "here" direction sign. The plain, gray back was seen first and then a nice over-the-shoulder view of the face and throat. Many Field and Song Sparrows were nearby. Several other folks had evidently seen the bird earlier in the morning behind the pumpkin pile and farther back along the road. With the amount of rain forecast for the weekend the road in may become very slippery. Come prepared for mud. When I left the sign-up sheet had 36 names. Good luck!
