Sparrows Flying South
Personal memory by Ben Stillerman
1994 CE • Johannesburg, South Africa
I remember as a young boy, waiting for the sparrow migrations in the winter. On occasional years, they would roost for a day or two in the trees around my house. I don't know if they still fly through Johannesburg anymore - at any rate, I haven't seen them for years.
