Yesterday, I saw a Clay-colored Sparrow on the south side of Latigo Blvd, between Elbert Rd and Eastonville Rd; it would perch for a short time on the fence wire and then go in the grass for some time. I watched it about 30 minutes. I looked for the Clay-colored this morning but only heard one vocalizing quite far away from the field south of Latigo Blvd. Is this late for the Clay-colored ? A Grasshopper Sparrow was vocalizing on the south side of Latigo also, closer to Elbert Rd.
This morning, I saw a singing/larking Cassin's Sparrow near the intersection of McClelland and Sweet Rd in north-east El Paso County. It was to the west of McClelland, where the farm buildings are. It would perch on the wood fence before lifting into its flight display. Several Vesper Sparrows were in both areas.
