Harris
Harris's Sparrow taken by Peter Schoenberger“Harris is still there,” Peter tells me.
This has been his report every few days, since the 26th of November. Harris is the Harris’s sparrow he found on November 26 in Berks County Pennsylvania while we were visiting his sister in Kempton. Almost a full month later, and Harris is still there.
“And people are still going out to look for it?” I ask, a bit surprised at the determination of birders.
“It’s an important bird,” Peter says, as if stating the obvious.
