Many birds were on wet grass and on snow free roadsides. Most numerous were dozens of Western Bluebirds followed by Western Meadowlark, Vesper Sparrow, Mountain Bluebird, and Chipping Sparrow. One Savannah Sparrow. A dozen or more out of place White-throated Swifts foraging over the first gravel pond on the right just before Kingfisher Bridge. A soaring immature Golden Eagle in the same location. Two perched Swainson's Hawks, not common in Chatfield. NOW for my mystery sparrow. I would appreciate ID help on this one. It seems to be an Ammodramus sparrow because of a complete eyeing, stout bill and flat forehead and pink legs. I am guessing Grasshopper Sparrow but the richness of chestnut on the face does not fit any GRSP I have ever seen or can find in the field guides. You can see three photos on WRShade3flickr. Any suggestions? Bob Shade Lakewood -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
