Four of us are currently listening to a singing Baird's sparrow on the west side of Larimer County Road 5 near rawhide energy station. This is about 2 miles north of the Buckeye Road. It is opposite a blue tractor parked on the east side of the dirt road. This may be Larimer County's first nesting Bairds sparrow so please be considerate and do not disturb the bird. It's not necessary to play tapes because it is singing constantly and unsolicited. If you pass the Windmill you've gone too far. It seems to be on a territory that is only about 200-600 feet off the road but it rarely comes up in a location that it can be seen. It is near a yellow marker. I was able to make an audio recording that matched our recording on the Sibley app but we are waiting for a photo opportunity still. There may be a second bird singing much further away. Stay tuned for more about that. There are plenty of grasshopper Sparrows around as well singing. Later today I will post a link to the audio recording and any photographs that we might obtain.
