Sitting in the dining room of Milford Place watching house sparrows flying up under the eaves I was surprised to see house finches joining them. No doubt they will be competing with each other when it comes time to build nests, and there is no doubt the house finches will get the best spots because they are more agile and fly faster. The house sparrows will be driven extinct (to the delight of birdwatchers living in cities). I felt like a young Darwin watching one species drive another to extinction.
