Update on the alpine Brewer's Sparrow search. I visited the Indian Point
subalpine site on the Grand Mesa at 10,000 ft elevation on Monday and found
9 territorial male Brewer's Sparrows (including 5 singing like unpaired
males). I will be checking two alpine sites in the San Juans tomorrow and
Thursday.
For anyone interested in checking any of our other priority sites for
alpine Brewer's Sparrows, I've attached a Google Earth map showing those
locations (basically, a central location within suitable habitat at each
site). If anyone plans to visit a site between now and 31 July and would
like higher-resolution maps with specific habitat patches to check within a
specific site(s), please email me and I'll get those to you.
Thanks again to Nick, Chuck, and other CFO members for supporting the
project! Did I mention that many sites are accessible with a short walk
from a USFS road? And that the high-country wildflowers (and birds) are
amazing this time of year?
Thanks,
Brett Walker
