Yesterday I went to the ponds at Weld County Rds 61/74 in search of American Golden Plovers (I ended up getting 9). After they flew off I noticed a sparrow sitting in a small tree. At first glance it looked different than any of the other fall sparrows I had seen, but I figured it must be a song or perhaps Savannah so I just snapped a couple photos. After processing them at home I could not quite figure out what I was looking at so I sent them to Cole Wild. After a little deliberation he concluded that it was a Le Conte’s Sparrow. Images were posted to the CO Rare Bird Facebook page.
