John Allen wrote in on Munday, April 20th, "I have been hard at work “bird watching” as opposed to “birding” and until this morning had come to the conclusion that there is in fact only one type of sparrow, the brown kind. This morning in Point Pleasant I did come across a white throated sparrow however, which leads me to believe the other ones were song sparrows. I have also seen in Point Pleasant a northern flicker, bluejays, junkos, starlings, chickadees, American robins and mourning doves... at my cottage in Seaforth I saw, in addition to many of the Point Pleasant sightings, a osprey on its nest.
