Index of Subjects Hi, Small numbers of Song Sparrows do stay over winter in NS. We have had 2-3 daily all winter at the feeder. The Great Backyard Bird Count on Feb. 16-19 reports 112 Song Sparrows divided amongst 54 checklists in NS. Some have now started to sing, and that's definitely a sign of impending Spring. But what do you mean by a "young" Song Sparrow? - after the initial juvenile plumage in early Fall, all ages look pretty much the same. Could this bird be a different species?
