I rescued a a nestling bird on the ground beside my house here in =
downtown Dartmouth. With all the cats around, there wasn't a chance the =
mother couldhave done anything.

The only nest around would be starlings on the adjacent house roof; but =
the the bird has white on the tertials and secondaries of its wings and =
white on the ends of its tailfeathers, a buff breast, a buff band around =
the back of its head. It's about house sparrow size.

What is it?

I don't want to nurse it. What should I do?

Dave Schlosberg
