	Fact Sheet: House Sparrow Control (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Given the widespread problems caused by House Sparrows, NABS advises that it is the responsibility of every nest box trail operator to ensure that no House Sparrows fledge from their boxes.
		Within 25 years, however, they realized the seriousness of their mistake: the House Sparrow population had increased at an explosive and alarming rate, and the birds were causing extensive damage to crops and fruit trees.
		Since sparrows are gregarious, the success of cage traps depends on the birds being attracted to the food and to each other.

	All About Birds
		The American Tree Sparrow is a common winter visitor in backyards all across southern Canada and the northern United States.
		As in most birds, the American Tree Sparrow is sensitive to changes in day length, which influence the growth of the sex organs.
		If the area is about 10-20% filled by tree sparrows, and they have 1-ha territories, as is the case near Churchill, Manitoba where they have been well studied, then approximately 10 to 20 million pairs should be breeding.

	Utah Division of Wildlife Resources
		The American tree sparrow, Spizella arborea, is migratory, breeding in Alaska and northern Canada, and wintering in southern Canada and the northern United States south to northern Texas.
		The breeding habitat of this species is open scrubby areas, such as open tundra with scattered shrubs, and areas near treeline; during migration and on its wintering grounds, the American tree sparrow utilizes fields, marshes, and residential neighborhoods.
		In winter, when seeds on the ground are hidden by snow, American tree sparrows have been known to hover over weeds, beat them with their wings to dislodge seeds, and then to fly to the surface of the snow to find and consume the seeds.

	Birds - American Sparrow Hawk
		The sparrow hawk would be a universal favorite were it not for its rascality in devouring little birds.
		Unlike other birds of prey, the sparrow hawk builds no nest, but lays in the hollows of trees, crevices of rocks, or even about outbuildings on a farm ; but a deserted woodpecker's hole is its ideal home.
		Although this bird arrives from the south in March, it does not nest until May, when from three to seven cream or fawn-colored eggs, finely and evenly marked with reddish brown, are carefully tended by both the mates that remain lovers for life.

	Birds of Nova Scotia - American Tree Sparrow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		During winter the American Tree Sparrow is a bird of weed-grown fields, wastelands and roadside thickets and is seldom seen in heavily wooded areas.
		There may be decided movements of birds in late March and early April, and latest sightings are normally in May (average 7 May, latest 26 May).
		In general appearance it resembles our common Chipping Sparrow of summer, to which species it is closely related, but the American Tree Sparrow is slightly larger and its markings are definitely brighter and more contrasting, and the Chipping Sparrow lacks the fl dot on its breast.

		Eggs of this Hawk were taken from a crevice in a stone quarry in the Scioto river, where the birds nested for years.
