After a fabulous 5 hour long birding hike at Cheyenne Mountain State Park (we saw lots of Ovenbirds, Warbling Vireos and so much more), I was on my way home and noticed a sparrow fly into a bush by the roundabout close to the exit. I decided to park my car and take a look. As I approached the bush, the bird came flying out and flew across the road. I got a good enough glimpse of the bird that I knew it was a bird I have never seen before. I didn't know what it was, but I knew it was rare. I followed it over and over from bush to bush until I got a decent photo. I am so glad I did because it turned out to be a lifer bird... a Black-throated Sparrow. It was a great ending to a great birding day.
