[cobirds] Sprague's Pipit, Weld County

I went to the intersection of Weld County Roads 96 and 69 as Bob Shade
reported and saw one of the Sprague's Pipits. It initially landed on the road
about 30 feet in front of the car and sat for about 1 minute, sometimes
feeding but mostly with its head up in an alert posture. After that, it flew to
the southeast quadrant of the intersection and foraged in the grass about
50 feet from the road. While there were several Cowbirds in the area, it
did not seem to closely associate with them. This intersection has a small
corral by the windmill.
