[cobirds] White-throated Sparrow-SW Denver

Noticed an adult WHITE-THROATED SPARROW in our yard (Athmar Park Neighborhood, SW Denver, Denver Co.) yesterday (Sun. 7 Nov.’21), but waited on posting until I saw him today (Mon, 8 Nov.’21) to see if it was going to be repeatable.  Hoping he’ll stick around all Winter like the young Harris’s we had last year, but not counting on it, so enjoying for now.  Granted not that rare, but fun none-the-less, so if you would like to try for the sparrow, just let me know separately.

 

Good Birding,
