On the northern birding calendar, October is a time for sparrows, cool weather, and tired fall leaves.

Originally from India and the vicinity, it is believed that they had already undergone two major expansions – through Asia Minor in the 1600s, and then across Europe in the 1900s – when they first appeared in North America.
