People have been feeding sparrows at Humber Bay for years.
House Sparrows are a particular favourite of the bird-eating Cooper’s Hawk and if there are many sparrows, a Cooper’s Hawk will be keeping an eye on them.
I often have a White-throated Sparrow in my yard in winter and I found one at Humber Bay this morning.
Both Lesser and Greater Scaup were also present:

NATURE POETRY
To labor with zest, and to give of your best,
For the sweetness and joy of the giving;
To help folks along with a hand and a song;
Why, there’s the real sunshine of living. – Robert W. Service (1874–1958)
Miles Hearn
