Hi, if you have observed the Baird's sparrow in Douglas Co Sharptail Ridg Open space, would you be able to provide more specific information regarding best access and general location of bird(s)?    i'm headed out there on Thursday morning.    my first posting, and thanks for your help with this.

Sure Linda, 

You'll want to park at the Sharptail Ridge trail head and walk south/southeast along the trail for about 2.5 miles. My fiance and I, along with a couple of other birders had success working along the ravine that cuts near the trail. The birds were not vocalizing at the time so it made it more difficult to discern them from among other sparrows in the area including vesper, brewers, and grasshopper. 

Best of luck to you.
