Harris's Sparrow - Stearns Lake - Boulder/Broomfield Counties

[Eric Zorawowicz]

While looking for the White-throated Sparrow found by John T. a couple of days ago (did not see it this morning), there was a Harris's Sparrow in the same location.  This is where the ditch crosses the the road near the raptor center.  There were many White-crowned Sparrows and a Prairie Falcon.  Just a reminder:  its Broomfield County on the west side of the road and Boulder County on the east side, including the lake.

 

On the lake were several Western Grebes a possible Red-necked Grebe.  It was too far to be sure but it was separate from the other grebes, smaller looking and had a long bill.

 

There was a large flock of Great-tailed Grackles in the tree just before the parking lot.
