[cobirds] Zonotrichia Trifecta - Arapahoe County

One short of a Zono Grand Slam in my yard this morning! I live just a block south of Cherry Creek State Park. Joining my usual assortment of White-crowned Sparrows and a 1st winter Harris's Sparrow that has been visiting regularly since 11/30, I had a brief visit from an White-throated Sparrow under my backyard feeders. Rusty brown sparrow with bright white, outlined throat, distinctly yellow lores, gray bill, white wing-bars, lateral crown stripes almost white (not as tan as tan-striped WTSP I had in the yard years ago). Leaning white-striped adult. Hopefully it will return so I can better id it. The Harris's showed up about 20 min after the WTSP appearance, so not quite like David S.'s Zono Hat Trick of all three present at the same time!

Cheers,

Becky Campbell
Arapahoe County
