Nelson’s Sparrow — Cherry Creek SP

[Joey Negreann]

This morning Mitchel Bailey, kathy Holland and I were surprised when a beautiful Nelson’s Sparrow joined us to watch some gulls out at Pelican Point. 

Originally it was on the east side of the inlet at Pelican Point but now is being seen on and off (and not great looks) by some birders across the inlet. It’s really skulky and staying at the base of the willows. You have to cross the inlet so come prepared to get wet. 

It was just seen by everybody 

Please be respectful of the bird and other birders wanting to get a peak of this specialty! 

Good birding!
