Boulder Co. Sparrows (SAGEBRUSH SPARROW)

[agco...@gmail.com]

Spent almost two hours walking along S. 66th St. near Marshall Mesa in southeastern Boulder County this afternoon. In addition a Lark Bunting and some assorted migrants I was impressed by the number and diversity of sparrows. Here is what I saw:

Song Sparrow- Several.
Lincoln’s Sparrow- One in a drainage.
Vesper Sparrow- Several large flocks.
Chipping Sparrow- One very large flock.
Savannah Sparrow- A pair.
Lark Sparrow- Several individuals.
Clay-colored Sparrow- One in a ponderosa near Marshall Rd.
SAGEBRUSH SPARROW- Foraging on roadside close to solar panels. Got many photos and saw many times. Will adding photos to eBird.

Hi all,

On my way home from work I was able to refind the Sagebrush Sparrow this evening after 7pm at the spot mentioned previously by Aidan. It was not associating with the other sparrows (dozens of Chipping, Vespers, and a few Savannahs) at the time I saw it. I encountered it a couple dozen yards uphill from the marsh.

I also had one female Lark Bunting amidst the sparrow throngs.
