Dave, your slideshow was amazing! What do you do with that Van Ert Trap once you've captured a sparrow though? Or maybe I don't want to know. The House Sparrows are now nesting in two of my houses. Luckily my Tree Sparrows haven't arrived yet. Last year I watched the two fighting and my husband and I spent hours standing by the houses and trying to protect our swallows who aren't afraid of us standing so close.

You sure have a way of making a sweet looking bird look even sweeter! Nice captures. Glad you stocked up, stay safe!

I'm sorry, but I can't hate this House Sparrow pair that's nesting in one of my birdhouses. I hate it that they're so cruel to the other birds and can endanger the species, but it's not in my nature to interfere in any other way other than standing close to the house.
