Yesterday, we saw the Rufous-collared Sparrow in Georgetown, around 8:15 am, at Rose and 8th, near the white- picket fenced yard with the feeder. It flew across Rose, toward the yards behind the large yellow building .
We first heard it while checking the yard where it was first found early in the summer. I had a short glimpse of it later in a sparse bush near the back of the unoccupied gray house, just below the small window. After breakfast, we had a mini fall-out (I think that's what it's called) with : Wilson's Warblers : 25-30 (at least!) Yellow-rumps : 4-5 Yellow Warblers : 2-3 Mac Gillivray's : 2 Warbling Vireos : 10 + Cassin's Vireo : 1 All were in 2 trees in the gray house's yard. (Best view from the cul-de-sac next to the house.) Also in the same small area were a family of Red Crossbills (type?), a Steller's Jay, Siskins, House Finches , House sparrows, at least a dozen American Robins (one unfortunate one with an amputated leg who managed to feed itself well but had difficulty landing), and a possible Cassin's Finch (not sure on that one).
