[cobirds] Re: SNOW BUNTING--Chatfield SP (Jefferson)

A big thanks to Alec for getting the word out to so many people so quickly today!  The bird remained until after sundown.

This Snow Bunting looks to be a female (based upon the black based greater coverts).  Not sure if this is a first year female or an adult.

I'd like to thank all the birders today for maintaining a distance of about 50 feet.  The bird seemed unaffected by all the birders and model airplane people present this afternoon and hopefully if future observers also maintain a respectable distance this bird will remain for awhile...maybe the Denver CBC on December 17th?  :-)

Thanks Alec for getting so many people their State Snow Bunting!!

Looking at it now- friendly, exposed and alone at the model airplane field parking lot. Metro listers-now is a nice chance to see this often very tricky CO species. Clean photos taken; will upload later.

Best,
