I am forwarding this message to cobirds since it has location information about the BLACK-CHINNED SPARROW family. Mike meant to send it to Cobirds but mis-typed the e-mail address. Larry Arnold forwarded it to me.

After dropping off my grandsons @ Summer Camp this morning, I went to No Thoroughfare Canyon this morning and found them in the same area reported by Cheryl. The fledglings flew well enough to follow their parents and I followed the family up the canyon for about 120 yards. I believe we have a family of Black-chinned Sparrows with at least 4 and maybe as many as 6 birds - 2 adults and 2-4 fledglings. Here are the GPS coordinated for the points where I first saw them & the last point where they turned back/headed up the PJ hillside. Point 1 - 5076 feet N39degrees 01' 26.1" W108degrees 38' 15.7" Point 2 - 5086 feet - 120 yards away N 39 degrees 01' 26.6" W 108degrees 38' 20.2" This last point is about 150 yards before Pool 1, which has a little water in it.
