can't quite find a match... group of 4 in trees between 1st pond and coral plump sparrow with buff breast, uniform brown wings and striking head pattern the most striking feature was the black mustache/throat stripes like a lark sparrow, also had small central dark spot on breast however i believe there was a yellow wash on the stripe above the eye and the center head stripe I think was rufous.
I've also considered Clay-colored but ... black stripes coming down the throat? Savannah are too colorful on wings Lincolns are too yellow Vesper pattern not striking enough My consolation prize for this hard one was a Rose-breasted Grosbeak right at the sign for the Learning Center where a memorial bridge is, high in a cottonwood Ron Bolton Larimer County -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
