No rigging involved: House sparrow history in North America

Steve - Thanks for looking into the House sparrow conundrum. Yes, they are invaders, deliberately introduced- to our loss. They are not related to any native North American sparrow species.

Senoufou - Welcome. As Janie stated in the first post, "You can list any birds you can see while standing on your own property/lot, including fly-overs, or birds you can with surety identify by their call that you hear from your yard, even if you can't sight them. If you have a favorite birdwatching spot elsewhere or an office window, can have a list for them also, but the idea is what birds do you see/hear in a specific location/habitat." First post for 2017
