[mou] Eurasian Tree Sparrow

[Don Darnell]

How ironic that a male EURASIAN TREE SPARROW -- a descendent of the original St. Louis, Missouri colony in St. Louis, MO (circa1870) found it's "accidental" way up the Mississippi to Anne and Allan's backyard in St. Louis County, Minnesota!  Anne has a nice sharp close-up of a male of this species for conformation.  A rare bird indeed for northern Minnesota.  

>From what I understand, there are other records of ETS in Minnesota.  Still, I hope the proper authorites are taking note of this.
