The bird at Park Point is now probably gone. Arrived at 9:30 and talked to birders who have been here since early this morning and there have been no sightings since yesterday evening. Today's clearing weather may have prompted its apparent departure. But hopefully it will reappear and that news would then be updated here.
Speaking of updates, there has been nothing recently on mounet about the Baird's Sparrow report in Douglas Co. The last update I saw was on Tuesday morning when the bird was seen but not heard, and its distinctive song is the best way to confirm the ID of this relatively nondescript species. I heard secondhand that it was heard later on Tuesday morning, but that there apparently were no sightings yesterday. So updates on this bird's presence and its ID would be helpful on this listservice.
