316. Eurasian Tree Sparrow

Date         April 2, 2021
Location    Emiquon Preserve, Lewistown, IL




Over by the office at the south end of the parking lot, I saw some movement in one of the trees across the entrance road. I saw a Tree Swallow and this sparrow, very obvious with the dark cheek patch. The rusty cap was also distinctive.

The sparrow appeared to enter into a cavity of the tree while the swallow sat there watching. I wonder if the sparrow was ejecting the swallow from the nest site, or maybe the swallow was contemplating the same?
