Does that accord with other people=E2=80=99s figuring? My presence in Finlay Park is not exhaustive by any means, so = I=E2=80=99m very curious. The house sparrows used to have a large presence in my backyard which is = only a few blocks away; yet still I have had no sign of them. I realize that the house sparrows have been seen in the less densely = settled areas over the past years. Are they now getting more numerous in = those areas also?
