White-Throated Sparrow @ Moose Visitor Center, Jackson County

[Rudi Nuissl]

I saw the WHITE-THROATED SPARROW at the Moose Visitor Center again this morning.  The staff confirms that a pair has been around since the winter,  I only saw the one, along with a pair of Pine Grosbeaks, several Cassin's Finches, a bunch of Mountain Chickadees, a Stellar's Jay and LOTS of Red-winged Blackbirds.

Along CR-21 in North Park, I ran across Sage Thrashers, Vesper Sparrows, Horned Larks and one Burrowing Owl. There were many, many ducks at Arapaho NWR including Northern Pintail, Northern Shoveler, Cinnamon Teal, American Wigeon, Lesser Scaup and Bufflehead.

COBirders,

Rachel Hopper called to report a WHITE-THROATED SPARROW was visiting the feeders at the Moose Visitor Center.  For directions see number 21 at:

The staff reported that it has been around for a while and that there may be two of them.  There were also 200+ Rosy-Finches, both Gray-crowned and Brown-capped.
