The Eurasian Tree Sparrow is an Old World sparrow introduced to North America in the late 1800's in the city of St Louis, Missouri. Although this is a common sparrow seen in Eurasia, and after more than 140 years, these birds have shown no real urge to expand to other areas of North America.

ABA - American Birding Association This site represents an organization that maintains official records of all birds species that have been proven to have been seen inside the perimeters of the North American Continent and the surrounding bodies of water. Regular revised versions are posted to keep the bird list current at all times. This is the list used by all serious birders over their lifetime. You may be aware of the movie called the "Big Year". It was with this list that all the competing birders used in an attempt to set a new record as to how many bird species that could be seen by an individual birder in one calendar year.
