American Tree Sparrow / Spizelloides arborea

"Plump and long-tailed, American Tree Sparrows are busy visitors in winter backyards and weedy, snow-covered fields across southern Canada and the northern United States. Hopping up at bent weeds or even beating their wings to dislodge seeds from grass heads, they scratch and peck the ground in small flocks, trading soft, musical twitters. Come snowmelt, these small rusty-capped and smooth-breasted sparrows begin their long migrations to breeding grounds in the tundra of the far North." From AllABoutBirds.

Two days ago, on 9 November 2017, I joined a group of friends to go on a walk in Fish Creek Park. It was longer than it should have been, due to our destination area being closed with yellow warning tape because there was a Black Bear in the area. Makes me smile, as I know bears can't read and can walk, so who knows what part of the park it was in when we were there. Apparently, the Bear has now been trapped and moved west of the city, to the Bragg Creek area.
