The sparrows were feeding on grian put their for them and would fly up to a nearby small tree every now and then. It was like a miracle to see this little flock of sparrows among all the noise, pollution of the parking lot with hundreds of cars and the busy shopping area around them. It would have been a normal sight a few years ago but at this time it was an amazing sight when sparrows are hardly ever seen.
