I just got a call from Tim Davis, of Parker, CO, who found this South America sparrow on May 8 with his nephew, Andrew Davis, a visiting birder and ornithologist from Winnipeg. Andrew re-found the Rufous-collared Sparrow and photographed it near 8th and Rose St in Georgetown, CO this afternoon. It was near a house with a feeder just north of that intersection. I was told that I would get a copy of the photograph tomorrow, and I will post it. Perhaps someone can figure out which subspecies it is and thus what general region it came from. The natural range is from southern Central America to Tierra del Fuego. It is unlikely to be like fancy-restaurant chickens, i.e., cage-free.
