[cobirds] Clay-colored Sparrow at Home Lake

Some exciting birds showing up here lately. At Home Lake (Rio Grande County) this morning, our 4th San Luis Valley record (not Ebird) for Clay-colored Sparrow was found singing their buzzy song a mere 12 feet above my head in some juniper trees. I had helped my wife do bird surveys in North Dakota in the past and this was a distinctive and familiar sound. Nearby, the lake has produced Black-throated Gray, Yellow-rumped, Orange-crowned and Yellow Warblers, Osprey, Peregrine Falcons and a lone Lark Bunting over the weekend.  Am enjoying spring and birding whenever the winds give me a chance.
