Clay-colored and field sparrows

[Ann Donoghue]

I believe I'm hearing clay-colored sparrows in my yard.  I haven't gotten a great look yet, but their song sure is distinctive!

I'm pretty sure I've got a field sparrow as well.  I only hear an individual and I haven't seen it at all.

Anyone else heard/seen clay-colored or field sparrows in eastern Larimer/western Weld counties?

So far it's been a pretty quiet spring in my yard.  The robins and blue jays are sitting on eggs. There are 2 western chorus frogs in my garden pond.

I found a dead chipping sparrow on my driveway, right at the edge of the road.  Hit by car, I suspect.
