Happy World Sparrow Day! Did you know that all of the many millions of house sparrows in North America are descended from just a few dozen birds released in New York in 1852? Unfortunately their success has been a contributing factor in the decline of many native species that compete with the house sparrows for food and nesting sites. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152665548095603&set=a.10152575329380603.958289.10150120463815603&type=1 https://twitter.com/projectnoah/status/314453643338342402
