	Pilastro, A (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		We studied the reproductive strategy of a Rock Sparrow Petronia petronia population, breeding in nest boxes in the Western Alps (Italy).
		The frequency of deserting females varied among years from 0 to 16%, and was significantly and positively correlated with the frequency of males available as mates at the time of desertion.
		In this study we showed that sequential polyandry with brood desertion is a regularly occurring strategy in the female Rock Sparrow.

		A Rock habitat includes the high elevation rock outcrops such as the Uinta Mountains, LaSal Mountains, Capitol Reef and Zion National Parks, the San Rafael Swell, and numerous other isolated peaks and rock formations and the high elevation lava flows in southeastern Utah.
		The Rock Wren uses rock as a primary breeding habitat, and the Canyon Wren and Rufous-crowned Sparrow use rock as a secondary breeding habitat.
		Unquestionably other avian species frequent rock and rocky-type habitats on occasion, but these three species are certainly the ones that are more closely associated with rock habitat in the state.

	Shedding light on an odd bird - the Pale Rock Sparrow in Lebanon (Birds) - arocha, international, cross-cultural, ...
		Sparrow numbers and habitat measurements were recorded at forty sites across the study area.
		The biggest threat to the Pale Rock Sparrow in this area is the loss of habitat as the villages and fields expand up the lower slopes of Jebel Barouk.
		Because some important aspects of the breeding habitat of the Pale Rock Sparrow, such as the steepness of slope and an abundance of pebbles, cannot be either controlled or constructed, conservation measures need to be directed to the most appropriate areas.

	CDC - Serologic Evidence for West Nile Virus Infection in Birds in the New York City Vicinity During an Outbreak in 1999
		From this analysis, Domestic Chickens and House Sparrows were the most frequently infected with WN virus; Mallards were least frequently infected; and Rock Doves were intermediate.
		Rock Doves contributed 3% to 16%, and the other four species contributed negligibly to the total number of infections.
		Geese, chickens, House Sparrows, and Rock Dves in Queens all had high-level seroprevalences, consistent with the exposure of these species to WN virus in the Romanian outbreak of 1996 (9).

	Biography
		In the chaotic world of rock 'n' roll, in which the lifespan of most bands can be measured in terms of a few years or a few months, John Kay and Steppenwolf have emerged as one of rock's most enduring and respected bands, delivering hard-hitting, personally-charged music for more than three decades.
		There, he immersed himself in the rock, R&B, country and gospel music that emanated from late-night U.S. clear-channel AM stations, while learning English from the speed-rapping DJs who dominated the rock 'n' roll airwaves.
		By 1967, The Sparrow had run its course and Kay was back in Los Angeles, where ABC-Dunhill Records staff producer Gabriel Mekler encouraged him to form a new group to record for his label.

	An Introduction to Birding on Mount Diablo
		Mt Diablo is also known for its spectacular views, odd rock formations, fascinating geology, over seven hundred plant species (including several endemics), about seventy butterfly species, and interesting wildlife (including Bobcats and Coyotes).
		The most sought after bird in the park by visiting birders is probably the Black-chinned Sparrow.
		It is also possible to access this area from Burma Road (at North Gate Road 3 miles up from the kiosk, this is rather short but steep and has virtually no shade) or from the Barbeque Terrace-Wildcat Group Camp area of South Gate Road (a longer hike and furthest from the best birding sections).

		In the '60s, Kay founded the Sparrow, a rock outfit who played both Canada and the U.S., but received little attention.
		The group had fallen apart by 1967, but with a new, harder-edged style of rock beginning to conquer the charts and airwaves (Cream [+], Jimi Hendrix [+], and the Yardbirds [+]), Kay decided to pursue this direction with his next band, Steppenwolf [+] (titled after Hermann Hesse's novel of the same name).

	Truth, Soul, Rock & Roll - The Elms
		It's unfortunate so many people failed to recognize the song as a playful nod to the catchy Beatlesque rock of the late '60s and early '70s, thereby missing out on an excellent retro rock album from a band that makes a fine successor to the legacy left by PFR.
		You'll hear it instantly with the rocking opening track and first single, "Speaking in Tongues." The beginning guitar chords are remarkably similar to the Beatlesque bands of the '60s and '70s, such as Badfinger, The Raspberries, and Cheap Trick, as well as legendary acts The Who and The Rolling Stones.
		I said The Elms now sound like Beatlesque bands because their sound on Truth, Soul, Rock & Roll is a little less directly influenced by The Beatles – it sounds more like they're mimicking a specific style and snapshot in rock history, as opposed to a specific band or two.
