Tree Sparrows are distributed throughout most of Europe and Asia, and have been introduced in many other parts of the world. This book describes the species' origins and early spread, as well as a speculative section on the evolution of the distribution. It discusses the species' habits, breeding, movements, numbers and food.

The humble House Sparrow, common everywhere, was surprisingly poorly researched and Summers-Smith's work soon provided interesting insights into this successful and adaptable little bird. Denis Summers-Smith first took up the study of the House Sparrow in 1947, thinking that the difficulties of travel in post-war Britain would best suit the study of a species always close at hand. As new opportunities to travel opened up, his interest blossomed to take in the genus Passer as a whole. His travels would ultimately lead to his study of all but one group, found only in the deepest Turkestan, and to the publication of his authoritative monograph on sparrows in 1988. While that book presented his knowledge of sparrow biology, this volume tells the other, human, side of the tale. His wry descriptions of the tribulations and unexpected pleasures of a traveller on four continents, from the Himalayas and Thailand, to Africa and the Americas (with a good few islands in between) are interspersed with observations and speculations on the biology of sparrows in a wide variety of habitats. Everywhere local officials and birdwatchers warmed to the eccentric Scot in pursuit of the little birds that nobody notices but which so often make their homes beside us. The author's own photographs and delightful cartoons by Euan Dunn further paint the picture of this lifelong search.

After the chicken, the House Sparrow is the most widely distributed bird species in the world, occurring on all continents except Antarctica and on most human-inhabited islands. Although its Latin name is Passer domesticus, it is certainly not domesticated. In fact, it is widely regarded as a pest species and is consequently not protected in most of its extensive range. This combination of ubiquity and minimal legal protection has contributed to its wide use in studies by avian biologists throughout the world. The purpose of this book is to review and summarize the results of these global studies on House Sparrows, and to provide a springboard for future studies on the species. House Sparrows have been used to study natural selection in introduced species, circadian rhythms, and the neuroendocrine control of the avian annual cycle. One current question of considerable interest concerns the catastrophic House Sparrow population declines in several urban centers in Europe. Is the House Sparrow a contemporary canary in the mine? Other topics of broad interest include the reproductive and flock-foraging strategies of sparrows, and sexual selection and the function of the male badge in the species. Anderson also explores the role of the House Sparrow in disease transmission to humans and their domesticated animals.

Excerpt from Population Studies of European Sparrows in North America: March 17, 1978 Since that time it has persisted primarily in rural areas, and gradually has extended its range northward. It currently occupies a range of approximately 22,015 km (8,500 mi ) (Barlow 1973), extending about 160 km north from Saint Louis. The purposes of this study were twofold: (1) to study the ecology of the tree sparrow in North America, and (2) to attempt to answer some of the questions raised by its very restricted range in North America. These questions can be stated in the following general form: (1) Are there competitive interactions between populations of the house sparrow and the tree sparrow in North America? (2) If so, what interactions may be involved in limiting the distribution of the tree sparrow? (3) If not, how are the two species partitioning their resource environment? To accomplish these objectives, I conducted concurrent population studies of the house sparrow and the tree sparrow and examined resource utilization patterns of the two species in areas of potential competition. Several pieces of evidence suggest that the house sparrow might be involved in the restriction of the tree sparrow in North America. The similar ecologies of the two suggest the possibility of competitive interaction. Historical evidence also suggests the possible restrictive role of the house sparrow. In addition to the displacement of the tree sparrow from the Saint Louis urban area witnessed by Widmann, other similar events have been observed. On several of the smaller islands in the British Isles the tree sparrow was formerly a common resident, but disappeared after the house sparrow colonized the islands (Summers-Smith 1963). The wide distribution of the tree sparrow in Eurasia suggests that the species would not be limited on the North American continent by climate or other abiotic features of the environment. In addition, man has altered the environment of North America, particularly by clearance for agriculture, in much the same way as he did in Eurasia, and it is in this altered biotic community that the tree sparrow resides. Population studies of both the house sparrow and the tree sparrow have been reported from Europe (Summers-Smith 1963, Pinowski 1968). Several studies on the breeding biology of the house sparrow in North America have been published (Weaver 1943, Will 1969, North 1972, Mitchell et al. 1973). Concurrent studies of the breeding biologies of both species have been conducted in England (Seel 1968a, b; 1969, 1970) and Poland (Mackowiez et al. 1970, Pinowski and Wieloch 1972). No study of the tree sparrow in North America has been reported, however (Barlow 1967). Three areas of potential interaction between populations of house sparrows and tree sparrows in the utilization of resources were studied in an attempt to answer the questions posed above. Two of these areas involved potential competition for food, one during the winter, and the second during the breeding season.
