Re: [cobirds] Vesper Sparrow, Larimer Cty.

You could bring him in, perhaps start him in a box with something warm to bring his temp up. If he perks up he could go in the cage. I think it's supposed to be cold tomorrow night too. But if he perks up, acts normally and seems agitated in the cage, I would let him out when it warms up tomorrow.

Those are my suggestions. Good luck!

Hello CObirders,

    Perhaps someone can give me some quick advice. At this moment (7 pm) I have a Vesper sparrow sitting in a little seed bowl under a makeshift cover to protect it from the snow. There's seed in the bowl but it looks pretty miserable. It survived last night – sat in the same spot covered in snow and I was preparing a rescue attempt when some juncos showed up and it flew off. Well, here it is again and its 24 F with light snow. I figure I'll keep an eye on it and if it nods off I'll try and bring it in the house and put it in our spare budgie cage. I dunno,  anyone have any advice? – Dave Hyde/nr. Storm Mtn.
