We noted plenty of house sparrows in Kingston during the recent CBC, and
there does not seem to be a lack of the species in the Clintonville
neighborhood of Columbus. I will note that we didn't really pick up the
species on the CBC until we hit Kingston.
(oh, and my January list is 45 for people who like comparing)

Subject: [Ohio-birds] Where are the house sparrows?
Does anyone else find it odd that Kathi listed a house sparrow as bird
51 of 2009? I have not seen one yet, either, and I've counted around 50
species, too. I was in Gulf Shores AL on January 1. Since then, I've
been through MS, LA, MS, AL, TN, and KY on my way back home, and saw not
even a probable sparrow perched on a rooftop. Not that I'm complaining,
just puzzled.

Subject: [Ohio-birds] Low Numbers
Hello, Joe in the Woods, and thank you for your encouraging e-mail on my
half-hearted quest for the January 100 club. I ended Jan 1 with 48
species, but the necessity of working for a living combined with wet
weather has kept me out of the field since. I did add House Finch and
White-crowned Sparrow as feeder birds and FINALLY saw a House Sparrow
for #51, but that is as far as I have gotten. I plan to get out a bit
this weekend, then am hoping to add several species at the winter OOS
trip to the Wilds on Jan. 17.
C'mon, underachievers! Show us your low numbers!
