[cobirds] Golden-crowned Sparrow - Red Rocks - Jeffco

Good Morning All,

Shortly after 7 this morning the adult Golden-crowned Sparrow appeared
along with the adult White-crowned Sparrow (Gambel's) on the flat rock
slab under the upper apple tree at the feeders behind the Red Rocks
Trading Post.
Seeing both birds together emphasized the size difference - the Golden-
crowned is a tad bit larger and heavier than the White-crowned across
the back and and chest. I did not see the Fox Sparrow, but I was not
there long.

Just a reminder: Sunrise Services will be held at Red Rocks tomorrow
morning (Easter Sunday) and they expect 10,000 or so people to attend.
