Lark Buntings - w. Arapahoe Co.

[Jared Del Rosso]

This morning (6/30), I was surprised to find an adult male Lark Bunting around Kent Denver School / Blackmer Lake in west Arapahoe Co. The encountered seemed fluky, but then I spotted five more Lark Buntings at Willow Spring Open Space in Centennial. These birds don't seem to come out to the Denver metro / w. Arapahoe area in late-June or early-July all that often, at least according to eBird reports. Wonder why they're here...
