There's not a lot of stuff I really need, but I think this monopod/walking stick will turn out to be pretty useful for me.<BR/><BR/>Hi Lisa,<BR/>I do love getting a new (& useful) toy!<BR/>I've read where the House Sparrow population is declining in some overseas countries. My flock numbers have gone down a little bit from what I saw earlier in the winter, but I still have plenty th share with hawks.<BR/><BR/>Hi Nina,<BR/>eBay could be a dangerous place for me to spend extra time--they have lots of yarn for sale too!<BR/><BR/>Hi Mare,<BR/>Usually the bluejays sound the alarm so most of the birds escape, but I've seen the hawk fly in really fast from around the house and this slow sparrow must not have been paying attention.<BR/><BR/>Hi Lynne,<BR/>It is a pretty cool item (with a little pick on the bottom for icy conditions)....I'll be bringing it along to Sax-Zim and you can try it out and decide if you want to get one too.<BR/><BR/>Hi Jayne,<BR/>I'm glad the hawk is smart enough to concentrate mostly on house sparrows (which I have plenty of).<BR/><BR/>Hi Richard,<BR/>The adjustable height is an excellent feature! I can see this item getting a lot of use in the future. Thanks again for the tip!<BR/><BR/>Hi April,<BR/>I have an over abundance of house sparrows, which I think is odd because I live out in the country. Some weekends when I'm doing my Project Feederwatch count, I have counted over 100 in my backyard. The numbers will go down a little once winter is over, but as far as I'm concerned it's still too many--especially once the bluebirds get back and competition for nesting boxes begins.<BR/><BR/>Hi Donna,<BR/>My curiosity usually gets the best of me. Fortunately this ID was easy and I didn't have to pick up any body parts.RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-59475530456853025472008-02-01T21:24:00.000-06:002008-02-01T21:24:00.000-06:00Oh my--another bird sleuthing mystery.
