Dave et al.:
The last eBird report of the Rufous-collared Sparrow in Georgetown is from 3
September. However, neither the bird's continued presence nor its absence in
any way solves the quandary.
If it's absent, it could have
- moved 0.25 miles and be unfindable
- been eaten by a cat
- been eaten by a Sharp-shinned Hawk
- been captured by someone looking for a pretty bird in a cage.
If it's present, well, it would still be present.
Enjoy,

Re-attacking a dead horse-- when did anyone last see or look for the
Rufous-collared Sparrow ?

This past spring, opinions on the origins and countability of the
Rufous-collared Sparrow polarized as quickly as the viability of Tim
Tebow, as you all know. I wondered today, when was the last time
anyone saw it? Or, when was the last time anyone went to look for and
did not see it? Barring being eaten by a cat, its continued presence,
or sudden disappearance around the time of fall migration, might rouse
additional speculation.
Please post any responses here on the board publically.
