At 8:30 this morning there was a group of a dozen sparrows along the edge of the paved path leading to the Boulder Creek trail from the East Boulder Rec center (across from the NE corner of the parking lot). There was a Swamp Sparrow (and two Song Sparrows) with the rest beingTree Sparrows.
(it's cold out there--the 4 intrepid members of the Boulder Bird Club on our Wednesday morning trip only lasted half an hour this morning before we went for coffee, but in that short period probably saw 100 birds in the trees at the beginning of the trail--mostly American Goldfinches, plus 20 Tree Sparrows, 5 Robins, a Red-tailed Hawk, and the Swamp Sparrow and Song Sparrows mentioned above)
