I spent this morning at Denver International Airport (Denver Co.), having rescheduled an early Thursday flight to today. Well before sunrise, around 4:45 AM, I watched a female House Sparrow "foraging" in the upstairs section of the A terminal. It's not unusual to see House Sparrows in airports, but it was neat to see this one up for my well-lit, indoor, "nocturnal" eBird checklist.
Even neater was the bird's drinking behavior. A little later (though still before dawn), the sparrow followed me to the water fountain, drinking after I did. I actually had lost track of the bird, but it clearly hadn't lost track of me, for it was drinking water left in the fountain before I even made it back to my seat. Makes me think it rather closely watches travelers and that water source. - Jared Del Rosso Centennial, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
