Description
In this Web exclusive, from the National Wildlife Federation Web site, author Laura Tangley explains that house sparrows, long reviled for ousting native birds from prime habitat, may now be affecting North American birds by spreading West Nile Virus. In addition to building up large amounts of virus for long periods, house sparrows are extremely abundant in many areas. And, while not migratory, the birds do move around.
