[cobirds] W-t Sparrow-SW Denver

While not as sexy as Duane’s Cape May, we returned after three weeks out of town to find the adult WHITE-THROATED SPARROW still in our yard in southwest Denver (near Huston Park, Denver Co., CO).  He is really starting to look sharp and was joined today (Thurs., 28 Apr.’22) by a nice bright “Gambel’s” WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW.  Add a SAY’S PHEOBE down the street and a fun day around the neighborhood.  While not that rare, can still be tough in Denver, so if you’d like to stop by and try for the White-throat, just let me know separately.

 

Good Birding,

Doug
